Dutchman

“When a girl like Lula gets with a guy like Clay - She can love him... or kill him - Or maybe both!”

Synopsis

A young conservative black man, minding his own business, rides a nearly empty subway car. The only other passenger, a blonde vixen looking for trouble, sizes him up. Sexual tension, racial bigotry and righteous fury collide in a razor's edge confrontation between this unlikely pair.
