In 1973, a police detective in a gray and oppressive neighborhood finds himself trapped in a spiral of violence and desperation. The story follows John Marsh, a police officer grappling with his own demons while investigating a brutal murder. As he delves deeper into the case, he encounters a suspect who is not only shocking but also awakens disturbing memories of his own past life.
As Marsh investigates further, he realizes that the real battle is happening within him: the conflict between his duty as an officer and the shadows of his own morality. The plot thickens as the tensions between justice and revenge begin to blur. The film immerses itself in Marsh's mind, showcasing his internal struggle and growing paranoia, pushing him to a limit he never imagined he would reach. His encounters with the suspect not only reveal the brutality of the crime but also strip Marsh of his professional image, leading him to question his role in a system that increasingly disappoints him.
With a dark tone and complex characters, the narrative explores themes of guilt, violence, and the corrosive effects of trauma, while illustrating how the system that is supposed to protect can also be a deadly trap for those who delve too deeply in their quest for justice. The climax is a tense moment that will leave viewers reflecting on the nature of good and evil.
