The official synopsis for the film reads, An ex-UFC middleweight fighter ends up working at a rowdy bar in the Florida Keys where things are not as they seem.

The filmmakers have had some issues regarding Amazon’s decision for its release strategy and director Doug Liman publicly criticised them for not giving it a theatrical release. Joel Silver’s push for a theatrical release caused him to be fired from the film for ‘verbally abusive misconduct’.
