About this filmv
An honest police officer refuses to take bribes and finds himself targeted by his own corrupt colleagues. The narrative tracks his growing isolation and frustration as he tries to maintain his integrity in a broken system. The look is gritty and urban, filled with the muted browns and greys of 1970s New York City.
