The Devil You Know
Never cross family.
Directed by Charles Murray
Produced by BondIt, Tetrad Studios
A morally complex family drama about loyalty, justice, and complicity, where redemption and kinship collide with systemic failure and crime.
Once-incarcerated Marcus Cowans is trying to turn over a new leaf with the support of his loving family. Upon discovering that one of his brothers may have been involved in a horrific crime, Marcus grapples with the limits of brotherhood and loyalty. He and his family, increasingly weary of the justice system’s failings, end up in the crosshairs of a seasoned but jaded detective.
