Galveston (2018)

In the shadowy underbelly of New Orleans, "Galveston" weaves a tale of life on the lam, featuring Roy Cady, a hardened hitman staring down his own mortality at the age of 40. Recently diagnosed with lung cancer, Roy finds himself in a deadly crossfire between his own fading existence and the cold intentions of his mobster boss, who plots his premature departure from both business and life. Surviving a ruthless assassination attempt, Roy unexpectedly finds himself the guardian of Raquel "Rocky" Arceneaux, a teenage prostitute with a past as scarred as his own. With the added responsibility of Rocky's baby sister Tiffany, Roy embarks on a dangerous journey, seeking both sanctuary and vengeance in his titular hometown, Galveston. This emotionally charged crime thriller paints a picture of two luckless souls intertwined in a desperate flight for survival. As they navigate the treacherous landscapes of crime and betrayal, any hopes of a safe haven dissipate. Rocky, a young woman with secrets as deep and dark as the night, becomes an inextricable part of Roy's story - a narrative marked by sacrifice and redemption. "Galveston" is a haunting tableau of life in the margins, an exploration of the lengths to which individuals will go to protect those they care about, and the ceaseless quest for a redemption that may forever remain just out of grasp. It's a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
