Description

Run time: 114 min. | Thailand | Language: Thai with English subtitles

Growing up in Chaiya, three boyhood friends - Piak, Pao and Samor, train under Pao's brother, Krang (Prawit Kittichanthira), a legendary muay Thai fighter who was taught by Pao's father, Tew (Samart Payakaroon).

Piak's hot-headedness makes him a fierce fighter, but it is also a liability that costs him a fight and ends his career. He joins the world of underground bare-knuckles brawling, and he and Samor become embroiled in other dirty jobs in the underworld as well.

Pao, meanwhile, begins training with his father, and works his way up the ranks. Eventually he is put forward as a top boxer in a match against Diamond Sullivan, which places Pao at odds with the gangsters for whom Piak and Samor work.
