The film tells of two people, Stanley Weber (Burgia) and Annabelle Wallis (Annabel) who face a bloody path. These two people are subjected to ruthless tyranny injustice, where they discover a potential fighter for freedom in those moments but the rules of his honor require bloody revenge on anyone.
