In the wake of their mother’s death, a teenage girl is taken under the wing of her older brother

Trouble is, his gangster swagger is the real deal, and thug life doesn’t come with a parenting manual.
Golden Blood takes us beneath the skyscrapers and shopping malls of Singapore into the seedy realm of violence, drugs and chaos that forms its underbelly. The aspirational world above finds its mirror below, as the orphaned siblings at this story’s core envision a future glittering with Chanel and Miu Miu bling. At the same time they’re reckoning with the ghosts of their own past and the half-remembered rituals they’ve inherited.

Unfolding with all the urgency and pace of a rollercoaster in a lightning storm, Golden Blood will set your pulse racing all the way to its inevitable, unstoppable and ultimately heart-rending climax.
