“A tough cop. A brilliant killer. An unspeakable crime.”

ThrillerCrimeDrama

Two Los Angeles homicide detectives are dispatched to a northern town where the sun doesn't set to investigate the methodical murder of a local teen.

VIBE

This is a dread-soaked, psychologically intense slow-burn. It feels like a suffocating descent into moral ambiguity, where the relentless daylight mirrors an inescapable guilt. The atmosphere is thick with tension and the unsettling weight of compromised justice, making for a gritty, introspective experience.
