Synopsis

Ex-boxer Tom (James McMartin) is in a deep rut with his personal life (his wife has left him) and career (a ring injury finished his boxing career) so when he is offered a job as a bouncer / doorman at a run down club he accepts. Needs must when you're almost broke. Taken under the wing of head doorman Paul (Paul Barber), a confrontational and hardened veteran, he's shown the ropes and just tries to settle in, even becoming friendly with Mary (Lisa Parry), a barmaid who works there.

But everything is about to change when Chongi (Mark Russell), the head of the biggest, most ambitious security firm, has a score to settle with Paul, and takes a keen interest in the club. As the tension escalates, Tom is soon forced to make a choice...
