An investigative journalist delves into the world of illegal underground fighting
The story, bearing some resemblance to the Fight Club, is about an organized underground fight ring run by four bosses. Primarily, the audience is wealthy, bored executives. As they become jaded by watching these brutal fights, and betting becomes boring, the bosses realize that they need to take the fights to a new limit. Not all the fights, just enough to keep the audience, and the money coming back. Suk, a Korean martial artist, brought up by the organization since early childhood, is the man they trust to fight these 'special' matches. Though the bosses killed his father, he is loyal to them and is considered family. He is increasingly tormented by his conscience as the new order of the day is revealed. To the outside, he is a faithful servant and a fierce protector of the organization, but inside he is full of doubt. When investigative reporter, Chase Somete and her team are on a trail of uncovering this organized fight ring, Suk is torn between protecting the only family he knows, and defending the person who can bring him down.
