Plot

Avery, a reclusive older man, has a best friend in his dog, Red. When three teens kill Red without reason, Avery sets out for justice and redemption, attempting to follow the letter of the law.

Sinekatalog’s take

A simple, quietly angry drama about grief, justice and a man who refuses to let a senseless cruelty slide. It never rushes, and the restraint gives its moral questions weight. A slow but affecting watch for animal lovers and fans of understated revenge stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
