FAQs

The film offers a distinct twist on traditional detective narratives by placing a criminal figure, a hit-woman, at the heart of a story that involves law enforcement. Instead of a detective solving a crime, we have a protagonist with a vested interest in concealing her own illicit activities and protecting her husband from a corrupt element within his own ranks. This inversion of perspective provides a fresh angle on the genre, focusing on evasion and manipulation from an unexpected viewpoint.
