Genres
Crime, Thriller, Drama
Starring
Vladimir Angelove, Kyla Nichole Nelson, Niklas Iwannek
Overview
A morally obsessive blackmailer appoints himself the judge of other people's intimate lives. Targeting those he believes are guilty of infidelity and deception, he uses manipulation and fear to pursue his own idea of justice. As paranoia and violence intensify, his campaign exposes the obsession and desire for control beneath his moral certainty.
