The body of teenager Gloria Hollinger is found dead on a Los Angeles beach, and Lt. Phil Gaines is in charge of the investigation. Gaines learns that the girl, a stripper and prostitute, committed suicide, but he ignores the connection between her and a powerful mob lawyer, Leo Sellers. Hollinger's father, however, is not satisfied with Gaines's results, and attempts to investigate the case on his own.
VIBE
A grim, sun-baked descent into LA's underbelly. This film feels like a slow, suffocating crawl through moral decay, where every character is trapped in a web of desperation and deceit. It's a bleak, atmospheric mood piece.
