Summary
Summary
A feared cage fighter in mixed martial arts, Daniel is closing in on greatness—until an injury derails his career.
Out of work in his country hometown, Daniel slips into the underworld, moonlighting as muscle for a childhood friend turned midlevel gangster. While his wife works nights and his 12-year-old daughter gets into scraps of her own, Daniel tries to escape and build a nobler life for his family - but he sinks deeper into a violent, unpredictable world, soon sparking a conflict that can be settled only in blood.
Written with equal parts tenderness and horror, In the Cage weaves together a grittily masterful tale of violence, family, and resilience as Kevin Hardcastle penetrates what it means to survive in the rural underclass.
