Plot
Rob, an ambitious photographer trying to boost his career, hooks up with a gang in an attempt to document life in the hood. He, however, realizes he is in too deep as bodies start to drop.
Sinekatalog’s take
A crime story about a photographer whose hunger for a career pulls him into a gang until the stakes turn lethal. Its message about proximity to violence is familiar, but the street setting gives it a gritty energy for genre fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
