Overview

Blood Street brings back Joe Wong, the hard-nosed California private investigator last seen in Low Blow. This time, Wong operates out of San Francisco, where his reputation as one of the best keeps him busy—even if his office leaves something to be desired. When a desperate woman walks in seeking help to find her missing husband Aldo, Wong’s routine is shattered. The search plunges him into the city’s criminal underbelly, facing off against dangerous characters like the formidable father-son duo Solomon and Bones. Before long, Wong finds himself caught in the crossfire of a brewing gang war, turning a missing persons case into something much deadlier. Expect gritty action, colorful characters, and a distinctly independent cult flavor.
