Carmen’s Kiss

Police sergeant Joe rescues Carmen in a dangerous operation intended to free her from a brutal trafficking ring. The success costs him his job and leaves him in debt to loan sharks just to survive. This act binds him to Carmen and sets the course of the tragedy that follows.

Carmen moves deeper into the gang's world and marries Rollo, the London-based leader who runs the club that serves as both storefront and base of operations. The club's neon-lit space becomes the nerve center of money, power, and danger. Peter oversees the operation while Michael tightens control behind the scenes.

Carmen hatches a dangerous blackmail plan targeting Drayton, with the gang backing the operation. Michael pressures Joe to stay in line, while Joe's past intimacy with Carmen threatens loyalty and trust among the group.

Rollo discovers Carmen's affair, a discovery that could unravel the operation. In a violent turn, Joe shoots and kills Rollo, redrawing loyalties and intensifying the gang's peril.

To buy time, Joe and Carmen convince Peter that Rollo and Michael killed Peter's father, a lie designed to silence him and help dispose of Rollo's body. The deception tightens the trio's unlikely alliance as the net tightens.

A secret camera is installed in a hotel room to trap Drayton during a scheduled encounter. Carmen lures Drayton into the setup while Joe, Peter, and Michael wait in a van to monitor the outcome from a distance.

Drayton realizes the trap when the camera records the scene, but Carmen escapes the room with the footage. Joe and Carmen slip away from the hotel, preserving the plan for now though danger remains.

With the plan unsettled, Joe and Carmen retreat to a remote house to lay low, while Michael and Peter head back to London to regroup. The distance creates new pressures and opportunities for their volatile alliance.

Michael's efforts to blackmail Drayton fail, prompting Peter to threaten him. In a twist, Michael reveals that his father's death wasn't the mob's doing but the act of a police officer, shifting the power dynamic and buying time for the escape.

Michael and Peter rush toward the remote house to confront Joe and Carmen, guided by an insider's warning about their escape route. The impending confrontation heightens fear, signaling the endgame for all involved.

Carmen confronts Drayton to exact revenge, but Drayton's henchmen kill her, cutting short the mission and leaving Joe devastated. The loss underscores the brutal cost of their entangled vendetta.

The fragile bond between Joe and Carmen dissolves in a somber finale that questions loyalty and redemption. The film closes on a bleak note, where love is paid for in violence and the past continues to cast a shadow on the present.
