A darkly energetic revenge thriller that plays with mystery and misdirection, balancing visceral action with the emotional weight of a man's desperate quest.

A barber seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized, cryptically telling police his "Lakshmi" has been taken, leaving them uncertain if it's a person or object, jeer at his request until they learn what they're really looking for.
