STRAYS (1997)

MORGAN'S RATING

COMING SOON

Frustrated by the repetitious grind of one night stands and aimless hustlings, study drug dealer Rick is looking for meaning and intimacy in his life. Like his testosterone- tweaked buddies, Rick is a 'stray' -- lacking a traditional family structure and wrestling subconsciously with the psychological bruises inflicted by his father's absence. Sheilding any vulnerability under the toughened cloak of detachment, Rick has administered his life with deliberate effort to avoid reliance on anyone or anything. But things change when he meets Heather, a com-fed walking talking "girl next door" and suddenly perceives a new avenue and an opportunity for an open, committed relationship. Though the chemistry between the couple is immediately charged, Rich's street cheek and volatile aggression flare threatens to extinguish their relationship before it begins.

Vin Diesel (Rick), Joey Dedio (Fred), Suzanne Lanza (Heather), Mike Epps, F. Valentino Morales (Tony), Darnell Williams (Keith), T.K. Kirkland, Brian Reingold (Pedestrian).
