“Thank you - thank you for everything.”
CrimeDrama
Beleaguered police detective Nishi takes desperate measures to try and set things right in a world gone wrong. With those close to him suffering their own tribulations, Nishi's methods become increasingly extreme.
VIBE
A melancholic, visually striking slow-burn that juxtaposes brutal violence with moments of quiet contemplation. It's a somber exploration of loss, loyalty, and the desperate measures one takes for love, all wrapped in a uniquely stylized, almost poetic, criminal underworld aesthetic.
