Premise
Duffy (Frank Grillo), a drifter and veteran haunted by combat and the deaths of comrades he saw as brothers, can't settle down because his time in active service caused such upheaval in his life. He wanders from place to place with only a suitcase and the drive to make just enough money to get to his next stop. His current perch is Los Angeles. He gets into a fight in a roadhouse bar when an someone tries to cheat him at poker and easily beats up a group of bullies.
Max (Mekhi Phifer), an ex-con manager of fighters for an underground fight club, watches this sees in Duffy a lot of skill, potential, anger, and a need to prove himself. Max's brother, a veteran as well who committed suicide because he didn't have an outlet for his rage and isolation, was like Duffy. Max worries that Duffy could end up the same way. Max gives Duffy a chance to win some money for the both of them, as well as a temporary home with himself, his sister Rachel and her daughter.
Max needs the money to repay Sage, one of the villains who runs a gym and the underground fights. Sage's boss is Ellen Ridgeway, a police detective who uses her official status to intimidate the entire criminal operation, keeping it under her control. Duffy wins the fight and the money but he becomes unintentionally entangled in a complicated web because it was Rachel's abusive boyfriend who had stolen the money from Sage and Ridgeway in the first place.
