Synopsis:
Dirty Duty (2025) is a high-octane action thriller that dives into the gritty underworld of law enforcement corruption and the pursuit of justice in a broken system. The film follows Detective Marcus Cole, a decorated officer with a troubled past, who is assigned to a covert internal operation to uncover a criminal syndicate working within the very ranks of the police department he serves.

When a drug raid goes horribly wrong, Cole is forced to team up with FBI Agent Claire Bennett, a determined and morally uncompromising investigator. Together, they unravel a trail of corruption that leads all the way to the top of law enforcement, including Cole's former mentor and current police captain, Rayburn, whose loyalty is now in question.

As Cole delves deeper, he must confront his own demons, past betrayals, and the blurred line between justice and vengeance. With time running out and enemies closing in from both sides of the law, Cole and Bennett risk everything to expose the truth in a world where no one is clean—and doing the right thing might cost them their lives.
