Plot
Rodney (Gooding) is a former boxing star reduced to working as a bouncer, a job that eventually brings him into contact with Yuri (Dreyfuss), a Russian gangster whose preferred method for the disposal of dead bodies is in the form of "bayou caviar," which is food left to the alligators in the Louisiana swamps.
Rodneys task is to provide compromising evidence on the son-in-law of the gangsters business associate, a blackmail scheme that if executed properly, could rebound to the benefit of several people, including a fame-hungry teenager Kat (Lia Marie Johnson) and lesbian photographer Nic (Famke Janssen).
