What is it about? Road House
Dalton lives like a loner, fights like a professional. And loves like there's no tomorrow.
The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.
Genres: action, thriller. Themes: new love, showdown, protection money, nightclub, roadhouse, fistfight.
