Kathy ends up marrying Benny after just five weeks. Over the next decade, she attempts to navigate both his reckless behavior and his blind allegiance to his mentor Johnny as The Vandals evolve from endearing outsiders to a more sinister gang. She ultimately wants domestication and a move to Florida to escape the madness. If only Johnny weren’t so hell-bent on rallying his troupe to enact revenge on anyone who dares disrespect him.
It’s understood that The Vandals adhere to codes and honor and decorum and unwritten laws, etc. etc., but the club’s expansion beyond Chicago still shouldn’t be such a heavy plot point. For all that easy riding on the open road, the narrative never quite travels in a totally satisfying direction. But Comer’s character won’t be the only one transfixed by her surroundings.
