When a local drug dealer shoots a dishonest cop in self-defense, lawyer and renegade undercover cop join forces to clear him. But when their investigation leads them into a maze of greed and corruption, they learn that in a town where everything is for sale, anything can happen.
VIBE
This film feels like a rain-slicked, neon-drenched dive into urban decay. It's a tense, cynical ride through a corrupt underworld where the lines between cop and criminal blur, and survival is the only law.
