Remo Street is a 23-year-old former wrestling champion who lost his father in the war and now struggles to support his ill mother and young sister. Street's heroic choice to defend a group of strangers unknowingly forces him into an underground fighting ring to keep his family protected from Russian mobsters. Coach Oz, one of the strangers he saved, shows Street gratitude by offering him a job at his local fight gym. Street is forced to fight for his life when a chance encounter puts him in the corner of an up and coming champ, a Russian gangster and the seedy underworld of gambling, arson and bare knuckle boxing.
