Following the tragic death of his beloved wife, a retired underground brawler named Leone (Rafael Amaya) returns to the world of illegal street fighting in a desperate bid to help capture "El Chapo," the fearsome head of the powerful criminal underworld. In order to break from his past, Leone will have to embrace it one last time.
