DYING HARD IN THE BIG EASY
---- Storyline


Darryl “Lemon Boy” Phillips, owner of Paladin Security, provides VIP protection and crowd management at public events such as concerts. The Lemon Boy tag is from childhood. Growing up in East St. Louis, Illinois, the neighborhood kids thought his light complexion and light freckles worthy of a title as well as ridicule.

Lemon Boy has carved quite a niche for himself, providing security at many national events.
That’s how Lola Montclaire literally strolled back into his life.
