Andrew, 19 ans, rêve de devenir l’un des meilleurs batteurs de jazz de sa génération. Mais la concurrence est rude au conservatoire de Manhattan où il s’entraîne avec acharnement. Il a pour objectif d’intégrer le fleuron des orchestres dirigé par Terence Fletcher, professeur féroce et intraitable. Lorsque celui-ci le repère enfin, Andrew se lance, sous sa direction, dans la quête de l’excellence...

Released after 20 years in prison, ex-con Charlie Sundstrom (Bailey Chase) returns to his home town to find that his estranged son, who has disappeared into the criminal underworld, is being hunted by a ruthless gang leader. Charlie enlists the help of a rogue corrections officer (Dylan Baker), to help in the search. But the corrections officer has a tragic past of his own. Soon their desperate lives will clash in a game-changing climax. In the tradition of films like 'Se7en', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'Angel Heart', 'No Beast So Fierce' draws much of its meaning and power from its shocking ending.

Un mac et sa petite amie rêvent d'une vie meilleure, loin des quartiers dangereux de New-York.
