Rosario Dawson stars in this stylish mystery based on Ross Thomas’ 1984 crime novel. Investigator Allegra Dill (Dawson) is drawn back to her small, quirky Texas hometown after her sister is murdered in a car bombing.
Briarpatch follows Allegra Dill (Dawson), a dogged investigator returning to her border-town Texas home after her sister is murdered. What begins as a search for a killer turns into an all-consuming fight to bring her corrupt hometown to its knees.
