“Marked Men: Rule + Shaw” is a 2025 American romantic drama directed by Nick Cassavetes, adapted from Jay Crownover’s 2012 novel “Rule,” part of the “Marked Men” series. The film stars Chase Stokes as Rule Archer, a rebellious tattoo artist, and Sydney Taylor as Shaw Landon, a pre-med student from an affluent family.
Shaw Landon has silently loved Rule Archer for years, though he’s only ever seen her as a family friend. After one uninhibited night, they’re forced to confront buried feelings while navigating grief, family expectations, and fear of commitment—testing whether love between two people from such different worlds can truly survive.
