The Dirty Version

Asia Salam, a hip-hop DJ with a guilty conscience, finds herself ducking bullets on the same night her drug dealing brother Deen fails to meet her with some “serious” news.

Temür Mirzaev, a disenchanted hitman struggling with his jailbird father’s puzzling legacy, might know a thing or two re: Deen’s whereabouts. Too bad he’s more concerned with his future in the biz than the occasional casualty of war.

But when a chance meeting forces Asia and Temür to cross paths, it soon sets in motion a chain of events that has them racing to uncover the truth of what happened the night that Deen disappeared. And what they learn about the people closest to them means dire consequences for all…

Set in the foreground of the economic and political upheaval of 2009, The Dirty Version is a story of blood ties that bind, the grey between good and evil, and the (im?)possible quest to save a life.
