When MMA rising star Ibby “The Prince” Bakran shines in a local fight, the world’s largest promotion company offers him a deal he can’t refuse. Now aligned with the sport’s top developing athletes, Ibby has a clear path to becoming great. Consumed with the limelight and all it has to offer, Ibby burns the candle at both ends and soon his fighting takes its own hit. As his star begins to fade, he points the finger at everyone but himself, becoming withdrawn and pulling away from his family who never wanted him to fight. Desperate to reconnect, his mother reveals the reason for her fear and the long-held truth about his father’s death. With nowhere else to turn, he travels to his homeland to find answers from his estranged grandfather. In the majestic mountains of Pakistan, Ibby works to find what he’s lost; but first he must face his biggest opponent yet: himself.

00:00Hey, let me give you a free therapy session if you want one.
00:03You find fault in everyone.
00:05Yourself, everybody else.
00:07That's what stopped you when you were fighting.
00:09All that anxiety and all that fear.
00:11That's what stopped you from being great.
00:13You think you don't have that anxiety and fear?
00:16No.
00:17I ain't afraid of anyone.
00:18I can't lose.
00:22Everybody loses.
00:25Humility is waiting right around the corner for you, little brother.
00:31I'm going to be the greatest fighter in the world.
00:35So close that I can taste it.
00:38And I'm not going to let you bring me down.
00:44You were just as scared as I was.
00:47You're afraid of confronting yourself.
00:50And you're afraid of failure.
00:52Do you know what the stupidest thing is?
00:55This whole thing, this identity you've built.
00:58You have no idea who you are.
01:02And when you get knocked down,
01:05you will not know how to get back up.
01:09We're taking this fight.
01:17Then you find yourself another trainer.
01:20Because I won't be there.
01:22Because I won't be there.
