Samuel lives with his brother, Duarte. They are each other's support, since always, but they became even closer after the death of their parents seven years ago in a car accident. Samuel has been boxing for several years. The coach helps him stay out of trouble by playing the father figure in the boy's life. The rest of the day, he works in a grocery store. One day, the schemes, which the younger brother Duarte is involved, knock on Samuel's door. Duarte disappeared. The drug dealers who are after the brother come to demand payment. Samuel is now faced with this new problem: he has to earn extra money in order to pay. A training colleague introduces Samuel to a scheme of illegal fights that involve a lot of money, where people bet on fighters. Samuel, without telling his coach, enters the scheme and finds himself involved in a situation he never thought he would be. He starts by having small fights with weaker fighters and, as he wins, he goes up, where he ends up fighting boxers much stronger than him. Over time, the struggles transform him. After paying off the debts that his brother left him, he remains involved in the scheme that has become a lucrative addiction. Samuel's coach tries to get him out of this, unsuccessfully. Samuel becomes a threat. Sometimes, not only makes gamblers lose a lot of money, it leaves opponents on the brink of death. However, without any notice, the brother appears and goes, now, to try to save the one who saved him. He's going to try to get his brother out of the illegal fighting scheme.
