A neo-noir revenge thriller set in 1980s Texas that explores how a single act of self-defense spirals into moral ambiguity and escalating violence.

While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of a low-life burglar. Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father rolls into town, hell-bent on revenge.
