Hit Me
“In this hotel, room service is deadly.”
Synopsis
Sonny, a frustrated and lonely bellhop, pushing 30 and employed 8 years at the lackluster Stillwell Hotel works side-by-side, day in, day out with Billy. Bridled by the responsibility of supporting and caring for Leroy, his disabled brother, Sonny has reached a point where he must take a good look at himself. Delivering room service one night, Sonny finds Monique, a beautiful but distraught femme fatale. That encounter throws Sonny into the illicit affairs of the hotel management, puts him at the mercy of the head of security, and could make him more money than he's ever known...
