Synopsis

In Norman Mailer's Tough Guys Don't Dance, we meet a very unlucky guy named Tim Madden. One morning, Tim rolls out of bed with a terrible hangover, a new tattoo with his ex-girlfriend's name, blood all over his Porsche, and to top it off, two severed heads in his secret stash of marijuana in the woods. Now Tim is in trouble. He has to save himself from murderous attention, as well as figure out who put him in this situation!
