Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for crime fans and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises. A good follow-up to Coffy.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Decades after covering up his classmate’s murder, Michael has moved on from his reservation and fractured past. When a man who shares his violent secret seeks vengeance, Michael goes to great lengths to protect his new life with his wife and boss from the demons of his past.
