action

When Dillon and Jake go into a store, their friend, who is waiting in front of the store, is robbed. However, he defends himself and calls for his friends. These come quickly while the shopkeeper calls the police. When the three friends chase the robbers away, one is shot by the bandits. When the police arrive, the police shoot the third friend, who in turn shoots a police officer. Dillon is sentenced to ten years in prison for the innocent police murder.

When Dillon was in prison for ten years, he was the victim of a serious prison attack - but he survived.

When Dillon comes out of jail, he meets up with his old friend Jake. He visits a wrestler club with him and wants Dillon to start wrestling again. When Dillon leaves, he is beaten up with his new partner on the way home by Marks, the policeman whose partner he allegedly shot that night, and he receives threats. The next day, Jake shows him a shop to work in and gets the job on a trial basis. He's about to start working and meets Amy. The next day, her brother Jake meets her at work and asks for money. He is kidnapped by Ace because he has a lot of gambling debts. Amy quickly goes to her uncle in the store, but only meets Dillon. She makes her way to Ace with him. Dillon makes the deal with him that he will fight for him at the Texas Club and use the money he earns to pay off his $ 30,000 debt.

Dillon wins his fight and has been going well ever since, so good that he is now being coached by LA Jim.

When he has the fight, after which he wants to stop because the debts are gone, he can hardly see anything during the fight. Nevertheless, he wins and it turns out that his opponent had drugs on his gloves and therefore saw nothing.

When LA Jim stands around alone, he is shot by Marks. He and his partner quickly drive to Dillon and Jake and beat them up again. Marks says Dillon was scheduled to lose the final fight and that he lost $ 200 thousand. Dillon should lose the next fight. Then he shoots Jake in the cheek and they disappear.

Dillon doesn't mind the threats and wants to win the fight. Amy makes sure that the Marks' partner is turned off by some means in the drink. When Dillon wins the fight, Marks tries to pull his gun, but then many police officers come and arrest him.
