The Twisted Lemon is the story of John, a young real-estate broker, who brings a loaded gun to a small martini bar where he plans to murder the beautiful but cunning Roxanne, who cheated him out of three million dollars in a real estate scheme. Waiting for Roxanne to arrive, John begins to wrestle with his convictions and strikes up a conversation with the bartender about murder. What John does not know is that the bartender himself is a hit man sent to kill John by Roxanne. As Roxanne arrives and both men face their convictions, they each must decide for themselves what the right thing to do is.
