Short Synops<strong>is</strong><br />
A bare-knuckle brawl between man and dog turns deadly <strong>for</strong> the brutes <strong>for</strong>cing<br />
them to fight.<br />
Full Synops<strong>is</strong><br />
At first we think we’ve entered some oppressive underground “fight club”-type of scenario<br />
— only to d<strong>is</strong>cover our fighter <strong>is</strong> not fighting another man, but instead <strong>for</strong>ced to fight a<br />
killer dog. Surrounded by lowlifes and gang bangers hoping <strong>for</strong> blood, things take a turn<br />
when they begin to realize th<strong>is</strong> guy might actually KNOW th<strong>is</strong> animal — and he’s here not<br />
to beat it, but to rescue it ...<br />
