In the 1950s, a young woman vanishes after becoming entangled with the organized crime syndicate that controls the docks of a bustling port city. When her sister, Gloria, sets out to find her, she uncovers a world where corrupt policemen, ruthless gangsters, and silent witnesses are locked in a struggle for control. Against the backdrop of a classic film noir atmosphere, her search for the truth draws her into a spiral of violence from which there may be no escape.
