Logline

THE LOOMING STORM

It's 1997. In China, a looming storm will soon sweep out the old industrial landscape and rattle society to its core. Yu Guowei, head of security at a factory that's no longer profitable, takes it upon himself to investigate a series of murders in the small town. In the pouring rain, between towering machinery and the advances of a prostitute, the amateur detective snoops his way to his demise.
