After his father gets into a fight at a bowling alley, Darious begins to investigate the limitations of his own manhood, finding that a complicated relationship with family members can stem from a complicated relationship with oneself.

Miles Warren's BRUISER does not pass judgement, nor does it let people off scot-free for their actions. J.D. Williams (HBO's THE WIRE) gives an intensely emotional performance in this Seattle International Film Festival, Live Action Short award winner.
