The Plant

He's not a bouncer. He's a plant.

William "Wild Bill" Benson is a recently discharged Marine with no direction, no job, and no more wars to fight—until he catches up with old buddy Captain Larry Moss, who opened a bar in South Dallas. Larry is thinking of closing shop because of bully customers who run off good patrons. His last bouncer is still in traction.

When a confrontation with a muscle-bound wrestler named Bulldozer goes exactly the way you'd expect—if you've never met Wild Bill—Larry realizes he has a new kind of weapon on his hands. No payroll. No liability. Just a quiet man in a corner booth who happens to hate bullies.

Soon Larry's club is prospering and William is in hot demand. A rogue cop. A crew of Eastern European gunmen. A human trafficker with a taste for cruelty. William takes them all on, one by one, until he makes the mistake of saving the wrong woman from the wrong man.

Now Enzo Gallo wants his girlfriend back and his reputation restored. He's got Larry tied to a chair and a price on William's head. But Enzo doesn't know that the plant has roots. He doesn't know about the consortium of club owners who have William's back. And he doesn't know that Wild Bill Benson has never lost a fight he intended to win.

By the time Enzo finds out, it's too late for everyone.
