In Cold Light is directed by Maxime Giroux in his English-language feature debut, from a screenplay written by Patrick Whistler. It stars Maika Monroe, Troy Kotsur, Helen Hunt, and Allan Hawco.
In the film, fresh out of prison and burning to reclaim her shattered empire, Ava (Maika Monroe) sets out to take back control of her once-thriving drug operation. But her plans implode when she is framed for a killing that puts a target on her back from both the police and the city’s ruthless crime boss (Helen Hunt).
Suddenly caught in a dangerous criminal underworld even she can’t navigate, Ava is forced to confront the ghosts of her past including old wounds from her father (Troy Kotsur) while dodging bullets and fleeing for her life as her fight for survival becomes a reckoning.
