A darkly comic satire that uses martial arts and cult dynamics to dissect toxic masculinity, blending deadpan humor with genuine menace and moral ambiguity.
Casey is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman fighting for her place in it.
