Cisco Pike

In the sun‑bleached sprawl of West Los Angeles, a city where neon signs flicker over cracked streets, Cisco Pike tries to rewrite his story. Once a small‑time drug dealer, he now spends his days strumming a battered guitar and dreaming of a fresh start, while the shadows of his past linger in every dimly lit alley and echo through the smoky clubs that line the boulevard. The neighborhood hums with a restless energy, a mix of music, street‑level hustles, and the ever‑present smell of danger that never quite fades.

Caught between his yearning for a clean life and the pull of the streets, Cisco finds himself drawn back into the underworld when Detective Leo Holland, a police officer whose allegiance bends with the weight of his badge, places an impossible demand on his shoulders. He must move a massive shipment of seized marijuana—100 kilograms—to be cleared before the weekend ends, a task that promises a quick payday but threatens to drown him in a tide of violence, corruption, and relentless deadlines. The pressure mounts as time ticks, forcing Cisco to weigh his conscience against survival.

The film unfolds in a gritty, noir‑tinged atmosphere where every corner could hold a rival gang, an impatient buyer, or a law enforcer with a hidden agenda. With his girlfriend Sue watching the unraveling, Cisco is forced to navigate a narrow path that threads through desperation, loyalty, and the relentless pulse of a city that never sleeps. The stakes feel as high as the desert heat, and the looming deadline hangs over the characters like a low‑rising storm, promising tension that crackles with every quiet moment.
