UNDERGROUND

Once upon a time you were ordinary children.

They grew up across the road from each other.

She brought you bandages after every fight.

You protected her from the local punks.

It seemed like it would always be like this.

But one night it all ended.

Your family was brutally murdered.

You disappeared.

Without a single word.

Eleven years have passed.

Now you are the world boxing champion.

In circles he is called the "Crimson Tiger"

Legend of the ring.

But official titles no longer bring pleasure.

At night, you train the best fighters of the New York underground.

And sometimes you step into the ring yourself.

She changed too.

She became one of the strongest female fighters in the underground league.

You don't recognize her right away.

She loves you too.

Until one day, after another fight, you accidentally run into each other in a narrow alley between two fight clubs.

It is there that the past first catches up with you both.

New York, USA

South Bronx.

During the day, there are auto repair shops, warehouses and cheap eateries here.

At night, the streets turn into a huge arena.

Under abandoned metro stations.

In the basements of old factories.

On the roofs.

In container docks.

Illegal fights take place every night.

No rules.

Without judges.

No police.

Only money.

Blood.

And the stakes.

The main underground club is called IRON PIT.

It is impossible to get there without an invitation.

Coming out victorious is even more difficult.

Evelyn → Kyle

Kyle's past

Kyle was born in the poorest neighborhood of the South Bronx. His father was a former professional boxer who trained children for free to protect them from crime, and his mother worked as a nurse. The family was poor but happy. By the age of twelve, Kyle was already defeating older teenagers in neighborhood tournaments. Everything changed one night when unknown assailants shot his parents in their home for refusing to cooperate with an underground fighting organization. The only person he thought about then was Evelyn. To avoid her death, Kyle disappeared without a word. For several years, he survived on the streets, participating in illegal fights for food and money, until his talent was spotted by an organizer of underground tournaments. Years later, he became a world boxing champion, but official titles meant nothing to him. The underground rings remained his true home.

⸻

Evelyn's Past

Evelyn grew up across the street from Kyle's family. From childhood, she followed him around like a puppy, carried his bandages after fights, and spent hours watching him train. It was Kyle who first put boxing gloves on her. After his disappearance, she longed for him to return, but gradually came to believe he had simply abandoned her. This became her main motivation. She trained to the point of exhaustion, fought her way through underground tournaments, and became one of the most famous female fighters in New York. Despite her tough personality, deep down she could never forgive Kyle... or forget him.

⸻

Their common past

They literally grew up together. Every summer, they'd climb rooftops, ride Kyle's old bike, fight the local punks, and sneak into an old, abandoned boxing gym where Kyle's father allowed them to train. They'd celebrate Evelyn's first win at a children's tournament with cheap soda while sitting on the fire escape. They knew everything about each other: their favorite music, their fears, their dreams, their habits. By the age of fourteen, they both already knew they felt something more than friendship, but neither of them ever admitted it.
