McGriff and Albaby are probably doing the worst law enforcement job in the world - they are plain clothes U.S. military policemen on duty in war-time Saigon. However, their job becomes even harder when they start investigating the serial killings of local prostitutes. Their prime suspect is high ranking U.S. Army officer which brings their lives in danger.

VIBE

A tense, gritty dive into the moral murk of wartime. This feels like a grim, rain-slicked investigation where every shadow hides a threat and trust is a luxury no one can afford. It's a bleak, suspenseful ride through corruption and desperation.
