Storyline

Follows Unique, a veteran and ex-convict seeking a fresh start in the small town of Karensville. After an altercation with a gang of hostile locals, he starts to suspect they have something to do with the disappearance of young Black men in the area - including his cousin. As he digs for the truth, he finds himself the target of not just the gang but the local sheriff's office, whose involvement in the disappearances may be even more sinister. Instead of waiting for his turn to be picked off, Unique and those closest to him (Paris Jackson, RJ Cyler) decide to fight back in this sharply satirical and stylish action thriller from the visionary leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. — Variance Films
