Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
Nadja Vidal (Tina L'hotsky) has arrived in New York City to avenge the murder of her sister Sasha, something that seems well within the grasp of her cool and remote personality. As the story unfolds, Sasha's murder in a nightclub is shown in flashbacks, and there are glimpses of Nadja's inexorable path to the killers before she takes the actions shown. Combining past and present, and scenes of violence captured without recourse to the usual focus on blood and guts, Nadja's immunity to violence becomes a chilling force in itself.
