Amateur MMA fighter Jack "The Ripper" Popaia takes a bribe from crime boss Don Jammy Heat to throw his fight against Pietro Banditos — but Pietro goes down before Jack can take the dive, leaving him double-crossed and running for his life. Accountant and bodyguard Jimmy Olsen pulls Jack out of immediate danger, drawing him into the orbit of the Heat crime family alongside kingpin Sam "Leatherface" Heat, fixer Eric "E-Man," and enforcer Benny. Working against the rival Banditos gang, Jack steals vehicles, raids operations, and plants surveillance equipment while Jammy keeps tightening his grip. When Jimmy is kidnapped and the price of her freedom is the Heat's own Fire and Vice strip club, Jack and his allies mount a casino raid to get her back — a mission that ends with Rick sacrificing himself to stop Jammy's reinforcements.
