Torque
Biker Cary Ford (Martin Henderson) has returned
to his hometown to reunite with his girlfriend Shane (Monet
Mazur) and take care of a little unfinished business. When
he skipped town months ago, Ford was in possession of several
motorcycles belonging to Henry (Matt Schulze), a ruthless
drug dealer and leader of the Hellions biker gang. Now Henry's
putting the squeeze on Ford in an attempt to retrieve the
bikes, which have something a little more valuable than gas
in their tanks.
When Ford is less than willing to cooperate, Henry frames
him for the murder of Junior, younger brother of Trey (Ice
Cube), fearsome leader of the Reapers motorcycle gang. With
the help of his loyal buddies Dalton (Jay Hernandez) and Val
(Will Yun Lee), Ford must outrun an FBI agent (Adam Scott)
who's hot on his trail while eluding both the misinformed
Trey, hell-bent on revenge, and the callous Henry, who's dead-set
on getting back what is rightfully his. Racing across the
desert in a perilous attempt to prove his innocence and convince
Shane that he's worth a second chance, Ford must outrace his
enemies if he wants to clear his name and live to ride another
day.
Monet Mazur plays Shane, the woman Ford left behind when
he went on the run. But Shane is no damsel in distress --a
skillful biker in her own right, she owns and operates a successful
motorcycle shop.
"Shane has been alone for about six months, after Ford
left without any explanation as to why," Mazur explains.
"As far as she knew, he wasn't ever coming back. And
she isn't the kind of person to wait around for anyone --she
can definitely hold her own. She's callused over that part
of her that loves him and become a little bit tougher and
a little bit harder than she was before she met him. So the
first time you see them together, you really wouldn't want
to be in his shoes."
