Animal Kingdom

A crime story

A dark, tense neo-noir about a vulnerable teenager trapped between family loyalty and moral choice, suffused with paranoia and the weight of inherited criminality.

Joshua “J” is taken in by his extended family after his mother dies of an overdose. The clan, ruled by J’s scheming grandmother, is heavily involved in criminal activities, and J is soon indoctrinated into their way of life. But J is given a chance to take another path when a cop seeks to help him.
