Description:

Set in the gritty backdrop of Tiger Bay, Cardiff, this gripping drama follows the story of Gillie, a spirited and resourceful street urchin whose life is forever altered when she accidentally stumbles upon the brutal murder of a young woman by a foreign sailor. Instead of doing what's right by alerting the authorities, Gillie instinctively takes advantage of the situation, pocketing the murderer's prized black revolver as her prize. As Detective Graham tries to piece together the crime and find the mysterious culprit behind it, he comes across Gillie and realizes she possesses the crucial evidence - the murder weapon. This revelation sparks an intense game of cat-and-mouse between the two characters, as Gillie, fueled by fear and desperation, weaves a tangled web of lies to shield her secret from Graham's relentless pursuit. The film masterfully portrays themes of innocence lost, survival instincts, and the complexity of human nature in a world where morality is challenged and loyalties are put to the test.
