An actor returns after the death of a family member, but there’s not much more of depth in this noirish tale with a painfully pretentious voiceover
Peel back the layers and sadly there is nothing much going on inside this American indie drama from director Zeshaan Younus; it’s a movie that’s aiming for noir, but ends up more of a shade of drab grey. It’s contrived and frustrating, with a painfully pretentious voiceover by its lead character Parker (Renee Gagner). She’s an actor in Los Angeles who returns to her home town after her sister Indiana (Rosie McDonald) is killed. “Sister, you were right.” muses Parker. “I am never fully anything or anyone.

Before her death, we watch Indiana brokering some kind of dodgy deal with a biker. She leaves a voicemail for Parker: “I’m in pretty deep out here … If anything happens to me don’t come looking.” Which is advice promptly ignored by her sister after Indiana is killed. Instead, Parker searches for answers, although this is a film with loftier intentions than solving a murder.
