San Cristobel de Las Casas, Southern Mexico, Chiappas Region – present day. Gripped by civil war and crime, the region is a hotbed of turmoil and unrest. The top betting sport is pit fighting, a bloody, ruthless and sometimes deadly game that matches man against man in a fight to submission. The local champion is a gringo known only as The Fighter – due to his stoic temperament and penchant for wearing black.

For five years The Fighter has been competing, with no memory of anything prior. He doesn’t even know his name. All he has are blurred images of desperately loving a beautiful woman, calling her name, Marianne – the same name tattooed in gothic letters across his chest. In a content and almost Zen like state, The Fighter keeps competing and winning. Baptized, into the Catholic faith, The Fighter donates money to the needy, and lives a clean and healthy life – a good man, however ruthlessly efficient in the ring.

Events reunite The Fighter with Marianne. He painfully pieces the fractured memories of his life together through the shadowy characters who knew him in his past. The Fighter learns he was a criminal, a cruel and dishonest murderer. A puppet in the hands of the underworld – his precious memories were of hunting Marianne, not loving her. The Fighter realizes there is only one-way to win redemption, atoning for the sins of a life he doesn’t remember. The Fighter must destroy those who created him.
