A fugitive from a killer. A remote outpost. A fight to the death.

The year is 1924 and Alain Lefevre (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a headstrong boxer who has been declared the victor in a heavily wagered boxing match. Two people are dead, and the blame has fallen at his feet. With his pockets stuffed with cash he runs through the alleyways, desperately hiding in the shadows, hunted like an animal.

As both the Police and a mobster's henchmen close in, Lefereve escapes to the French Foreign Legion. By dawn, he is launched into a brutal conflict in a strange and unfamiliar country. What he learns there will change the course of his life forever.
