This biographical drama delves into the raw, unvarnished struggles of mixed martial arts pioneer Mark Kerr, transcending the typical sports narrative to expose the brutal price of fame and chronic pain.

It’s a thought-provoking, melancholic journey into self-destruction and the elusive pursuit of greatness, framed by the unforgiving world of professional fighting.
