Plots(1)
An unknown MMA fighter, Ty Matthews, beats the undefeated world Champion of the sport in a sparring match in a local gym, and a secretly filmed video of the fight goes viral. Overnight, Ty becomes the underdog Champion of the MMA world - with a shot at a fight for the title on the horizon. But when the female reporter covering the story that could make him a legend is found dead, Ty becomes a murder suspect. She was last seen with him - leaving a late night bar after their interview. And his only alibi, his live-in girlfriend, is well aware he arrived home late. A blackout, a dead body, and incriminating circumstances no one can deny- least of all himself. And for the young martial arts fighter, there seems to be no exit from his nightmare of fragments of memory and suspicion. Like Bogart in Nicolas Ray's "In a Lonely Place", he finds himself under the microscope of a murder, which he himself doesn't know if he committed. (Internationales Filmfest Oldenburg)
