“Revenge comes home.”

CrimeThriller

When the quiet life of a beach bum is upended by dreadful news, he sets off for his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. However, he proves an inept assassin and finds himself in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family.

VIBE

This is a raw, dread-soaked descent into the grim realities of vengeance. It feels like a quiet storm brewing, then erupting into desperate, clumsy violence, leaving an unsettling, melancholic residue. The atmosphere is stark and unforgiving, pulling you into a world where every choice has heavy, inescapable repercussions.
