Tara (Jennifer Tilly) hosts a dinner party. When she discusses the HIV-positive results of her lover's brother, others join in with their opinions on AIDS. Black artist Buzz (T.C. Carson), brought to the party as the date of Vincey (Mitchell Anderson), quickly becomes a twosome with Javi (Eddie Garcia).

To some the life of an illegal underground fighter is more than blood and broken bones -- it's a way to support themselves and their families when all other avenues have failed. While the honor of some fighters stands in stark contrast to the callous treatment they receive by the promoters who often view them as little more than dogs set loose in the ring for the sole purpose of turning a profit, the wheel keeps turning, blood is spilled, and ravenous audiences eat up the action, blow by devastating blow. In this look at the harsh realities of the underground fighting scene, viewers are taken into a world where blood and money are forever bonded in an endless cycle of violence. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
