More DescriptionIn 1971, Domino Martine, an Oregon farm girl, drifting for the last five years, arrives in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. Domino is a talented woman; a chef, a seamstress, an artist, a healer, it's her gentle nature which defines her life.Running from her past, Domino rarely makes friends wherever she calls home. When she comes across Laurie Masten Parker, bullied by a gang of tough girls, the 'earth mother,' reluctantly intervenes, rescuing the diminutive wife of biker Mike Parker. The two women become friends. Both are lonely. They need each other.Laurie invites Domino to join her family's world; a tribe of Vietnam veterans, who form a tightknit group of bikers. The 'tribe,' exists on the edge of the 1%'er outlaw lifestyle. Domino is drawn to the Parker's and the Masten's, like a moth to a flame. She can't escape the heat, realizing without them, her lonely world is cold.Domino meets Laurie's brother, Sid Masten, a hedonistic, Harley riding, muscle-bound Viking, who pursues her relentlessly. Discouraging his advances, having been married to a man just like Sid, Domino turns her attention to Laurie's brother-in-law, Joe Parker, who is haunted by demons from his past. Unable to help herself, Domino wants to 'fix' Joe, who she sees as a broken man.Coming between Domino and the 'tribe,' is Bob Bohannon, an older, wiser biker, rumored to have 'made his bones,' yet, is considered by everyone who knows him to be a righteous man. Bohannon falls in love with Domino, who must choose whether or not she wants to live her life, between bad and good.
