Underground

Michael's (Wilbert Berthaud Jr.) life is turned upside down when his parents die in a mysterious fire. At the age of seventeen, he is forced to take care of his two younger brothers (Lee Berthaud & Michael Berthaud). He tries to find legitimate work, but the constant rejections due to his lack of education and experience along with the death of his parents leave him feeling disillusioned. Through an incidental encounter with two thugs (Don Foley and Rob Young) Michael learns of an underground organization where people fight for money. Ignoring his friend Jason's (Mike Harb) advice, Michael meets with the head of the 'Underground.' A brief audition piques Monro's (Emanuel Ward) interest as he is impressed by Michael's raw talent. Despite Jason's warnings and constant pleas to stop, Michael is lured in by the promise of fortune and is willing to do whatever it takes to support his family. Obsessed with this goal and convinced that he is doing the right thing; Michael remains unaware of what's ultimately at stake and now stands to lose everything. With the future in question, one thing is for certain; Michael will fight or end up Underground.
