Tom (Gabe Combs) wants out of the business. Donny (Christopher Abernethy) wants in. It's hard to be a company man when the job involves drugs, violence and the existential dread of a normal life, possibly around the corner. Co-Starring Cody Dermon, Rhianna DeVries and Rodrigo Tactaquin this is a cynical, neo-noir about two gangsters and one night on the job.
The film is a simple love story reminiscent of stories like The Notebook released in 2004. Sylvie and Robert are rarely actually together in the film, however; time and circumstance keep them away from each other, and the audience waits with bated breath to see them find one another over and over.

The movie opens with an empty house, cameras pan around from the perspective of what viewers are confused about at first, but turns out to be a spirit living in the home.
The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say.
Is God Is tells a harrowing tale of retribution, sisterhood, and gender based violence. Far too eerie and clever to be an ordinary slasher, but too gory and merciless to be an ordinary thriller, Is God Is will appeal to the highbrow horror lover with generational trauma anywhere.
