Duel de Salopes

In a neon-drenched city rife with corruption, two estranged brothers, a retired hitman and a disgraced police detective, are forced to team up. They must navigate a treacherous underworld and confront a powerful crime syndicate to avenge the murder of their mentor. Their reunion ignites old rivalries but also unearths a conspiracy that threatens to engulf the entire city.
