Everyone had counted them out. But they're about to get back in the game.

ActionThriller

Somewhere in Los Angeles, the city of broken dreams, a stripper is murdered. Now, the private detective she had hired and her ex-footballer boyfriend are going to find her murderer... if they don't kill each other first. But the more they dig, the deeper they become enmeshed in a web of extortion, blackmail and corrupt politics hidden beneath the surface of professional football.

VIBE

This is a propulsive, darkly humorous ride through a sleazy, cynical Los Angeles underbelly. It feels gritty and explosive, with a constant, simmering tension. Expect a morally ambiguous journey packed with sharp dialogue and stylized violence, perfect for a late-night dive into 90s action cinema.
