Teens in a low income neighborhood are lured into working for a violent and dangerous drug dealer. When a new girl harboring a dark secret arrives in town, their relationship jeopardizes everything.
A dark and subversive thriller that exposes the underbelly of crime and poverty not for shock value but instead to expose the uncomfortable parallels between our tidy lives and the messy secrets we try to keep locked inside.
All in all, this is a strong and engaging drama from a promising director who dares to urge empathy for figures traditionally dehumanized. And the performances are stirring.
