Set in the gritty streets of Philadelphia, Long Bright River (2025) is a haunting and emotional crime drama that explores the devastating effects of addiction and the fragile bonds of family. Mickey ( ), a dedicated patrol officer, walks the same streets where her sister Kacey ( ), a drug user and Sєx worker, has vanished without a trace.
When a string of murders involving women in the opioid-ravaged neighborhood begins, Mickey grows increasingly fearful that Kacey may be the next victim — or already one of them. With few leads and mounting pressure from the department, Mickey takes matters into her own hands, launching an off-the-books investigation that uncovers dark secrets buried within her family, her precinct, and the very community she’s sworn to protect.
Torn between duty and desperation, Mickey must confront painful memories of their childhood, the choices that tore them apart, and the quiet hope that redemption may still be possible. As the mystery deepens, every clue brings her closer to the truth — and further into danger.
Long Bright River is a powerful 2025 adaptation of Liz Moore’s acclaimed novel — a deeply human story of survival, sisterhood, and the silent crisis that haunts America’s streets.
