Wilson who is recovering from alcohol addiction and in the throes of martial conflict, is being trained for a boxing match by his best friend Chris (ex British Forces) who is secretly suffering his own battle with PTSD and going through a messy divorce.
As the film unfolds, they are taken to their limits of endurance and pushed to breaking point. As a result, they are forced to become better versions of themselves and reconcile with their partners and each other.
However, Chris has one further challenge he must now face alone.

Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science.
