The Leaked Bout

In the grimy port city of Verdant, Aiden Kane, a dockworker drowning in his mother's medical bills, steps into the illegal underground fight circuit known as "The Gauntlet." But when journalist Laila Vane uncovers a secret ledger suggesting every punch and knockout is predetermined by a cabal of wealthy gamblers, a paper trail of blood emerges. Told through conflicting police transcripts, wiretaps, and medical reports, the evidence speaks volumes, yet every detective, lawyer, and bureaucrat interprets it through their own lens of bias, corruption, and survival.
