Love Lies Bleeding

1989. With her eyes fixed on the grand prize, winning a national bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas, Jackie, a driven Oklahoman runaway, winds up in Lou's grimy Crater Gym. Surrounded by the sound of weights clanking and the lingering smell of sweat, Lou, a taciturn loner who still hasn't found the guts to leave town, decides to take a chance on the muscular outsider. But as the perfect strangers fall hard for each other, sharing an electrifying emotional bond, self-destructive revenge and shocking violence creep into their romance. Sometimes, the sins of the past are all we have. And with thick, warm blood staining the enamoured rebels' hands, tomorrow's promises are another story. After all, bullets say the best goodbyes.
