Crime Thriller
In 2010, two warring Chinese crime syndicates clash in the shadows of a hushed, terrorized immigrant enclave. While local shopkeepers face relentless shakedowns and women are smuggled into the sex trade, a modest family diner unexpectedly becomes the flashpoint for the entire turf war. Enter prosecutor Diana Belenguer, who teams up with Officer Li to launch a first-of-its-kind surveillance sting, intercepting Cantonese conversations that crack the case wide open. But the operation takes a dangerous turn when Xu, a low-ranking enforcer, breaks ranks to rescue a young trafficked victim—putting a target on his back and turning his own blood brother into his relentless hunter. What starts as a wiretap investigation soon explodes into a heart-pounding pursuit through Argentina’s darkest criminal corridors.
