“They shouldn't have put him in the water, if they didn't want him to make waves.”
Directed by Rowdy Herrington
The premise
Coming from a police family, Tom Hardy ends up fighting his uncle after the murder of his father. Tom believes the killer is another cop, and goes on the record with his allegations. Demoted to water-way duty Tom, along with new partner Jo Christman, navigate the three rivers looking for clues and discovering bodies. This time the victims are women Tom knows, he must find the killer to prove his innocence.
Horror Vault's take
When homicide detective Tom Hardy publicly accuses a fellow officer of murder, he finds himself busted down to river patrol duty on the waterways of Pittsburgh. Partnered with a new colleague, Tom begins pulling bodies from the rivers — victims who all share a disturbing connection to him personally. With his reputation already in tatters, he must race to unmask a killer before he becomes the prime suspect himself. This grimy neo-noir thriller keeps the tension coiled tight as loyalties fracture and the body count climbs.
