A dark, morally murky crime thriller about two brothers who cross ethical lines in pursuit of justice for a murdered child, exploring guilt, corruption, and the cost of vigilantism.

When police discover a young girl brutally murdered, brothers Joe Fairburns and Chrissie Fairburns join their supervisor Robert to investigate main suspect Jason Buliegh, a local sex offender and social outcast. Forced to release Jason from police custody, the Fairburns take matters into their own hands in an attempt to coerce a confession.
