BAYOU CAVIAR

“A man's desires never tasted so sweet…”

Rodney is a former boxing champ who, after a deathbed visit to his trainer and mentor, is propelled into reclaiming victory for his now simple life as a nightclub bouncer. He partners with a no-nonsense, lesbian photographer and an aspiring starlet to make a compromising tape with Isaac—a married, devout, Orthodox Jewish real estate mogul—that sets off a chain of events that brings down an empire.
