In an increasingly voyeuristic and oppressive
society, a new form of reality entertainment is sweeping the
country. Taking place in undisclosed locations across the
country, filmed and streamed over the internet and watched
by a select live audience. Some take part for entertainment,
some for the chance of a better life... underground, no hold
barred, prize fighting.
This is reality entertainment to the extreme.
In the UK suburbs, an underground tournament is set to challenge
twelve fighters from different backgrounds to compete for
the prize of £500,000. They have been handpicked for
a no-holds barred competition that will push each fighter
to their limit.
Each fighter has their own reason for competing, and each
will give everything they've got to take the prize...
...but there can be only one winner.
Mark has recently been released from
prison after serving a brief sentence for GBH after
finding his now ex-wife in bed with another man.

to find employment.
A former street fighter, he prefers to keep to himself.
He is competing in an effort to regain some of his
former life.
Nathan, an ex-convict and former nightclub bouncer,
was recently released from prison after serving a 6-year
sentence for manslaughter, following an altercation
with a drinker.
Recently found God, now married with a daughter, Nathan
is competing in the tournament to make a better life
for his family.

family and doesn’t trust people easily. A self taught
martial artist with particular proficiency in Gung
Fu and Capoeira.

money and determined to prove himself and show he can
compete with the best.

him a place in the tournament.
He is in no doubt that he can win, and is not shy
about reminding the other competitors that he is the
best.

her kickboxing and Taekwondo skills have often come
in use when dealing with disruptive pupils.

her the edge against her male counterparts.

some much needed funds
for a homeless shelter.

heads up the organisition.
A highly skilled, martial artist from the Far East,
Leon is ruthless in equal measure in his approach to
business and fighting, although his financial skills
leave something to be desired. His rising debts have
lead to his need to compete in the ‘Underground’ tournament.

after striking down his commanding officer. He has
a history of violent behaviour. Unpredictable,
aggressive and determined, he’s a fierce competitor who
will stop at nothing to win.

arts instructor. He is a family man, married with a
young daughter, and has strong moral principles.

best and to gain a better life for his family. He is

determined.
