Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.

The story

After her younger sister gets involved in drugs and is severely injured by contaminated heroin, a nurse sets out on a mission of vengeance and vigilante justice, killing drug dealers, pimps, and mobsters who cross her path.
