"Florida" and "Dios" are former cellmates from an Arizona prison, both released early due to the pandemic. Dios is obsessed with Florida and wants to reveal some dark inner truth she thinks the other woman is hiding. The story is in fact laid out in the beginning, when we're told that the two women face off in Los Angeles.
We learn a lot about Florida, real name Florence, and the journey that brought her to prison. The other main character is a female detective named Lobos who is tracking the two women after they were connected to a crime. Lobos has her own demons and her story was actually very interesting to me.
I'm not really sure why this is being tagged as a western - never fear, it is NOT a western. But also be aware it's being falsely advertised as an adventurous thriller, and that's not really what it is either.
Overall 3.5 stars for me.
