Boxing and drugs are his staple. He is an English fighter, who gets imprisoned in one of the most notorious prisons of Thailand, which is in reality, a living hell on Earth. He is beaten, sexually and mentally abused. He is frustrated and finds solace in drugs. He is already an animal, massive drug abuse only makes him a relentless animal. He gets an opportunity to exhibit his boxing skills and earns the respects of inmates. He is taught 'Muay Thai'. He is given the option of representing his prison in a national tournament. He is the first foreign national to get qualified, compete and even win. He finds redemption in kick-boxing, uses it his way out of prison and addiction by fighting.

This character study is solely based on the true story of #BillyMoore from the film 'A Prayer Before Dawn' (2018), which is a film adaptation of an international best selling memoir written by Billy Moore himself. Furthermore, an official selection in Cannes 2018, and distributed by the studio renowned for independent films production and distribution '#A24'.
