2022112 min7.3 / 10

A dark, violent romance about two damaged people finding salvation and obsession in each other, where love becomes a dangerous, all-consuming force.

A tale of love and violence when a man on his emotional last legs finds a savior seductively dancing in a run-down strip club. And a life most certainly headed off a cliff suddenly becomes redirected - as everything is now worth dying for.
