The Plant

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

William "Wild Bill" Benson came home from the Marines with nothing but nightmares and a talent for violence he's spent his whole life trying to control. When he reunites with an old war buddy whose South Dallas bar is being terrorized by bullies, William offers a solution: no bouncer on payroll. No lawsuits. Just a quiet man in a corner booth who happens to hate bullies.

They call him the plant.

Soon Larry's bar is thriving, and William is in hot demand across the city. A rogue cop. A crew of Eastern European gunmen. A human trafficker with ice in his veins. William takes them all on—until he saves the wrong woman from the wrong man.

Now a gangster named Enzo Gallo has 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.
