Saturday Night Special

Loneliness, guilt, regret, vengeance. What's even worse is when you bring it upon yourself. ALLY ARMSTRONG is a beautifully aging exercise host that is at the top of her game. She's proven that a clean life is a lean life as her numbers steadily increase with her age, allowing for her first raise in over five years. She's on top of the world.

Until it spins again. You see, Ally has a terrible problem, a low-life husband with a secret gambling debt to the Albanian mafia that reaches in the hundred thousands, and no way of paying it off. Not to mention his back payments on the strip club rental he runs for them. He's fucked. He knows it. He runs. But before he takes off, he nabs all of Ally's life savings.

Left with her seventeen year old son, KADE, Ally is confronted by the mafia men who have come to collect what's theirs. It spirals Ally's perfect day down the drain as she is left with two options, sell her house and put her and her son on the streets or kill a rival drug dealer who's an elder Vietnamese war vet (survived suicide bomber) who runs his operation from a small Chinese takeout in a wheel chair. And who also has an affinity for young boys.

But Ally isn't alone, her two long time bodyguards and friends from the strip club (The Last Resort), band together to call in a few of their Gurkha brothers and help her out, whether she decides to go against the Albanians or follow through with the murder. (It has been said that “If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha.”)

Emotions get mixed in when one of the brothers finally has an opportunity to tell Ally he cares about her, now that her husband is out of the picture. But that's the last thing on her mind, at least until she is reunited with her high school romance, one of the other gangsters called in to protect her.

Ally's emotions are constantly unstable as she tries to figure out what to do, who to do it with, and how, which blinds her from the fact that her son wants to take matters into his own hands. Which leads him into the line of fire of the enemy, ultimately getting him killed.

Ally struggles to cope with the idea of ever picking up a gun again after confessing her distaste for them ever since her father killed her mother, then himself. But she knows deep down she must put this fear aside and arm herself to bring justice to the men that killed her son, even if it means sacrificing herself to do it.
