GHOSTS (2021)

When the body of an ageing schoolteacher is uncovered in an alley behind the school where he worked for most of his life, an impulsive Police Sergeant is drawn into the case. Alongside his cautious partner the two navigate an obstructive witness and a contentious Specialist Firearms Officer in a thrilling hunt for their main suspect, recently released without charge. But how is his murky past tied to that of the victim, and will more blood be shed in pursuit of the truth?
