One night, eighteen-year-old Davide is kidnapped and locked in the back of a truck, where he finds himself wrestling with a total stranger and ends up killing him with his bare hands. His kidnapper, Minuto, becomes a father figure to him, trains him to be a wrestler and provides him an entrée into the world of underground fight clubs that cater to spectators’ thirst for blood. Only love, perhaps, can save Davide.
