As Kuba becomes embroiled in a fierce rivalry with opposing fans, he finds himself trapped in a cycle of crime, reports Surrey Live.
The show's synopsis hints at the drama that unfolds. It reads: "Faced with the grind of hard work and the lure of quick money, a teenager ignores his mother's warnings and follows in his father's reckless footsteps by joining a local hooligan group.".

The freshly released trailer pulls viewers into the gritty world of underground boxing and gang wars, opening with budding boxer Kuba mastering his punches while a chilling voice declares: "You're with us now, no one's going to touch you.". It's all-out war on screen as rival gangs charge head-on into battle. Kuba spirals deeper into the criminal depths, tasked with shady drop-offs and collections by menacing figures, his life swerving dangerously off course.
Yanking at our heartstrings, his mother desperately pleads: "I don't want my son to be in jail!"
