A visceral martial arts thriller about a retired fighter drawn back into violence by a personal tragedy, grappling with trauma and moral purpose through hand-to-hand combat.

Retired martial arts world champion Alex Faulkner has settled into a simple life, when the disappearance of two of his students leads to an unthinkable discovery close to home. Just when all hope of finding the children is lost, he locates the imprisoned girls and unsurfaces an international child trafficking operation, which draws him back into the fight of his life against those behind it.
