But sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
All of the children ran from your arms
Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin
All of the children vanished too soon

A retired hitman only known as ‘POOL BOY’ is roped back into a life of crime when the organization he betrayed sends his ailing father to track him down.
You can watch the other entries in the Chlorine Cinematic Universe. I'd recommend starting with the original Chlorine if you haven't seen it.

*Make sure to watch the film in 4k if you can. It truly will enhance the viewing experience.*
'Chlorine Kills’' is an independent feature film written and directed by Daniel Lotz and shot by Joel Dik. Conceived in 2020 and created/filmed from 2020 - 2025 the film captures the seedy underbelly of crime pervasive in the local Joliet, IL crime families. The film was an intense labor of love. Midway through production tragedy struck when my dad passed away suddenly. The film took on a whole new meaning as it was the only tangible thing I had left of him. The films has elements of fiction and reality which blend into a beautifully dark and impossibly hopeful story of family struggle in the face of immense tragedy. To my dad. I thank you for the time you put into not only this movie but for the time we spent together as father and son.
The Hollywood space has been overtaken by soulless corporate films that only play to the lowest common denominator. We truly embraced our low budget elements and try to tell a story filled with hope and love in the face of such a depressing outlook in today’s storytelling. The film hopefully can inspire people most of all to just take a look at your family and give them a big hug. You truly never know how much time left you have with some people. Hopefully this film and the events that set it in motion will be a captivating tale of bravery and courage to tell compelling films not afraid to shy from difficult subject matter: LONG LIVE FOLK FILMMAKING.
