Kaufman's Game
Synopsis
Stanley is unemployed and going nowhere fast with his boxing dreams. Until he meets Fader, a stranger offering something that could help Stanley train harder and faster to achieve his dreams.
But all power comes at a price in Fader's world and Stanley soon finds himself out of his depth in a culture dominated by performance enhancing drugs and violence.
Fader's boss, Kaufman, has gone to considerable lengths to find Stanley and is keen to bring him into the firm. Before long a clean escape seems unlikely. Stanley is faced with the ultimate decision, beat them or join them.
