Angel, who was very young when her father killed her mother, spends her life plotting revenge against him. With its powerful acting, a bold and heartfelt script, and the director’s tender depiction, Night Comes On is a bittersweet coming-of-age story about Angel and her ten-year-old sister Abby’s fierce fight for survival starting from their days in juvenile detention. The drama of these two sisters, who find refuge in each other against the harshness of the outside world, also holds up a mirror to the dark side of society in the USA.
