Blood and Bone

Blood and Bone tracks Isaiah Bone, a tough, relentless ex convict who enters Los Angeles' brutal underground fight circuit with a single aim: to keep a promise he made to a fallen friend. Bone's fists are weapons and his street smarts keep him alive as he navigates dingy arenas, secret backrooms, and a web of rival fighters, shady promoters, and crooked cops. As he climbs the ranks, he uncovers a sharper motive beyond vengeance, testing his code and his loyalties. The action swaps high voltage exchanges with tense showdowns that push Bone to his limits, while a quiet undercurrent of memory and guilt fuels his every move. The urban nights glow with neon and rain, turning the ring into a pressure cooker where every hit echoes through the alleyways. Memories of his friend haunt him in quiet moments, sharpening his resolve and complicating his choices.
