In the early days of Mixed Martial Arts, kickboxer icon DJBellyi is beaten to death in the ring after yelling a homosexual slur at anopponent, while his young son James watches in horror from thestands. Sixteen years later, young James Bellyi has become an MMA star inhis own right, with top-tier endorsements and an imminent title shot. But whenJames is outed as gay by an opponent in a press conference, he loses everything:his title shot, his fans, his team, even his family. To fight his way back, heturns to the only one left in the world willing to train him: Xavier Mayne, theman who killed his father.
