Shabu

Longline:

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

After the Philippine President grants his citizens the ability to take the law into their own hands, a young mother’s life descends into chaos, when her husband talks her into assassinating drug dealers.

Synopsis:

Aimee is a young woman, living in a Philippine shantytown, with her husband and two young children. Her community, wrought with poverty, is in the throws of a terrible drug epidemic, centered around a powerful methamphetamine, known as Shabu. Her husband, Jeff Ryan, a retired American veteran, supports his family by working as a contract killer, assassinating drug dealers.

When a hit is ordered on a target, that only a woman can get close enough to take out, Jeff Ryan turns to the only woman he knows... his wife. Aimee, disgusted by the things that she sees happening in her community, agrees to perform the hit. After the job is finished, Aimee carries out an unsanctioned hit, taking out a ruthless drug dealer, whom she had repeatedly seen, brutalizing her helpless neighbor. This causes Aimee's family to become the targets of a powerful criminal organization, bent on revenge, and the only way that she can save them, is to win, what will prove to be, the fight of her life.
