the mid-1970's, revolves around a young man who works on the streets of Los
Angeles as a street fighter, Leroy Fist.

mob boss. During this time he works with a wide variety of seedy characters,
including hoodlums and even some dirty cops. Eventually he changes his mind and
decides that he wants to try to change his life.
After a receiving a large sum of money from a successful fight he purchases his
own club; however, he discovers that his decision to break free isn't as easy as
he had originally thought. The mob kills his wife and Fist finds himself forced
to seek revenge and retribution for the killing. The process of his revenge

winner to choose.
