Our take
A US R murder mystery about a lawyer investigating her friend's husband's death. A wrongful police shooting, riots and looting sit at the centre. Gun threats, abduction, marijuana smoking, f-words and bereavement scenes are part of the ride. Best for US R and up.
Uplifting themes
Friendship and seeking justice for victims are front and centre The lead attorney pursues the truth for her friend
Story (may spoil tone)
High-powered attorney Marley faces her most personal case yet when she is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the murder of her best friend Fela’s husband. With the help of her boyfriend – a former cop turned private investigator – Marley’s search for what really happened leads her down a treacherous maze of deception and betrayal.
