The Beast of the City
“Beware the hunters who stalk their prey through city jungles!”
CrimeDrama
Police Chief Jim Fitzpatrick is after gangster Sam Belmonte. He uses his police detective brother Ed to watch over Daisy who is associated with Belmonte but things don't go as planned.
VIBE
A dark, morally ambiguous descent into the city's underbelly. It's a tense, atmospheric dive into corruption and obsession, where the lines between law and crime blur. Feels like a smoky, late-night confession.
