Sex, drugs, and violence are controlled in the casino club by the “Crowd Control” team…5 tough males and 1 female. Fighting with the unruly crowds is the best part of their job. But can they control themselves?

SYNOPSIS:

The crowds in the casino club like to enjoy themselves. When they party too much, trouble occurs. The Crowd Control team steps in to do their job, which usually results in fighting. But fights are what they like about their work. It’s a bonus that helps them deal with all the paperwork required afterwards.

The team forms a camaraderie. SONNY BOYD, the Crowd Control Lead, manages the calls requesting assistance. He often relies on ROD VIGUE, an Atlantic City police man, to help remove disruptive people. HUNTER ALLEN, EMIL RUPA, LUKE MENZER, MICHAEL (MICK) O’CONNOR, and MEGAN DANIELS, work well with Sonny and support his efforts.

The clubs are manned nightly by bartenders, cocktail servers, DJs, managers, lighting guys, and go-go dancers. Each of them, along with the Crowd Control team, have situations in their lives that affect their work. Fights, threats, spitting, biting, sex, drugs, alcohol, and personalities, combine and move along to the beat of the club music.

But, fighting take it’s toll. It gets old. It hurts. It can fail, too. And the Crowd Control team finds that fighting can lose it’s appeal. Especially after a gun is brought into the club and a death results causing everyone to take another look at their lives.
