A brutal, visceral underground fight-club thriller built on sustained violence and the mystery of how one man survived a carnage-filled descent through seven levels of combat.

When Police kicks open the doors of the elite underground fight club Knuckledust, they find seven levels of hell, filled with the dead bodies of countless fighters, assassins and goons. Only one man, beaten up to a pulp, is still breathing: Hard Eight.
