Hug

A detective monitors a young man and eventually identifies his drug dealer. The dealer uses unconventional business methods, while the law enforcement agent ignores official protocols to combat the crime. This dynamic leads the dealer to act recklessly, resulting in an attack on his estranged father, who had only hoped to embrace his son but arrived at the wrong moment.
