Detective Tony Church is forced to retire and become a store rent-a-cop when his drug sting operation comes to a tragic end by a masked killer. He joins forces with a prostitute, the only one able to identify the killer, to bring him to justice.

VIBE

This is a gritty, 80s action flick with a cynical edge. Expect a steady pace, dark humor, and a dose of neo-noir style as a disgraced cop seeks revenge. It's a rough-around-the-edges ride with a surprisingly earnest heart.
