ThrillerCrimeMystery

A Russian teenager living in London dies during childbirth but leaves clues in her diary that could tie her child to a rape involving a violent Russian mob family.

VIBE

This is a relentlessly intense and gritty descent into a brutal underworld. It feels stark and unflinching, with a palpable sense of dread building through its propulsive narrative. The atmosphere is cold and unforgiving, exploring themes of hidden identities and the dark bonds of family with visceral precision.
