Publisher's Synopsis
UNCLE LOUIE is an original screenplay by Michael B. Druxman.If Damon Runyon had written THE KARATE KID, it might've turned out like this, because Uncle Louie is an aging fugitive from GUYS AND DOLLS. When he comes to Los Angeles to live with the nephew that he hasn't seen in thirty years, he meets Andy, his grand nephew. Andy is a likable high school student who loves playing his guitar, but also has some problems. Inadvertently, the youth has incurred the wrath of a local drug dealer. And, even though he has his own troubles with an East Coast Mafia chieftain plus the F.B.I., Louie takes it upon himself to help the boy find himself. This screenplay has action, laughs and also a few warm tears along the way.
