A gritty action vehicle about a desperate man fighting his way through underground combat to save his family, driven by kinetic energy and physical stakes rather than introspection.

Lyon Gaultier is a deserter in the Foreign Legion arriving in the USA entirely hard up. He finds his brother between life and death and his sister-in-law without the money needed to heal her husband and to maintain her child. To earn the money needed, Gaultier decides to take part in some very dangerous clandestine fights.
