The story kicks off with a shocking crime that sets George, Kai, and Renka on a spiralling journey of self-reflection. The performances are commendable, especially George’s portrayal of a character wrestling with guilt and confusion.

It’s a mixed bag—while it has moments of brilliance, it often drifts into familiar territory. The direction is solid, but the pacing could use tightening to keep the tension alive. Fans of character-driven narratives might find value here, but it’s not without its flaws. Show less
