CISCO PIKE is a man of the West... West L.A.!

CrimeDrama

A down on his luck former drug dealer is forced by a corrupt LAPD policeman to sell 100 kilos of confiscated marijuana in one weekend.

VIBE

This film feels like a grimy, sun-baked descent into desperation. It's a tense, character-driven crime drama that captures the bleakness of Venice Beach in the 70s, where every deal feels like a trap and survival is the only goal.
