Summary |
Set in the near-future, darknet grifter Dougie is deep in debt and beaten to a pulp. Running out of options, his stepfather Terry agrees to pay off his debts. In return, Dougie must take a security job at the refugee detention centre where Terry works. Ever the hustler, Dougie discovers a way to make cash by live-streaming the underground refugee fight club run by the centre's morally bankrupt security staff. When tragedy strikes, Dougie locates his hitherto dormant conscience and takes a stand against the system. |
