Galveston

In the humid heat of a Gulf‑coast town, a seasoned hitman steps off a road marked by his own shadows and into a place where the past refuses to stay buried. Roy carries the weight of hard‑won skill and a lingering sense of fatalism, his reputation etched into every wary glance. The streets of Galveston pulse with a gritty, almost cinematic melancholy, a world where the salty breeze masks the undercurrents of danger that linger in back‑alleys and abandoned warehouses alike.

Against this backdrop, a young woman with a fractured history arrives like a sudden storm. Rocky is both vulnerable and fiercely independent, her eyes hinting at stories she would rather keep hidden. Their meeting feels inevitable, a collision of two solitary travelers on the run, each seeking something—whether redemption, freedom, or simply a moment of genuine connection—in a landscape that offers little mercy.

The film moves with a tense, simmering rhythm, blending moments of stark violence with quiet, introspective pauses. As the duo navigates the unforgiving terrain of the city and its surrounding swamps, a palpable sense of urgency drives them forward, while the looming threat of unseen pursuers adds a constant undercurrent of dread. Their uneasy partnership becomes the emotional core of the story, a fragile alliance forged in the hope that, even in a world hardened by betrayal and loss, a sliver of humanity might still survive.
