Written, Directed, and Produced by Chris Soriano, who also stars as the main actor, the goal of the film is to  showcase unity through the sport of boxing. The story focuses on the middleweight champion of the world losing  his mother to COVID-19 and ends up challenging an Asian American boxer (Zeus) to punish in the ring. Zeus  encounters a neighborhood boxing legend, Coach Green, who decides to take Zeus under his wing and teach him  fight tactics through the dangerous streets of Los Angeles. 

Soriano began filming during the pandemic and incorporated real hate crimes that happened to Asian Americans  in his film. Soriano felt the need to tell this story in hope it will shine light on how the country could deal with racism  toward minorities. His goal is to promote peace. The co-lead actor in the film is a Black American, Coach Green.  Soriano hopes that this film will showcase unity with the journey both characters go through.  

Chris Soriano (Zeus) and Miguel Matos (Coach Green) are available for interviews at any time.
