The film tells the story of Dalton Hunt a mixed martial artist who dropped out of the fighting game after an in-ring accident left his best friend in a wheel chair. Unable to outrun his guilt, he lost his family, his title, and his way. But when a crooked promoter lures him back into a fight against the current undefeated champ, Colin ‘The Brick’ Wahle, Dalton must enlist the aid of an enigmatic trainer to turn him back into a warrior so he can stand tall and do battle once again.
