The sports drama 'Beast' centers on Patton James, a former top MMA fighter now working on a fishing boat. His life takes a turn when his brother, Malon, falls into debt after a loss to champion Xavier Grau.
Faced with Malon's dire situation, Patton accepts a lucrative fight offer against Grau. This comeback requires him to reunite with his former coach, Sammy, who is hesitant. The training follows a typical sports drama arc of challenges and determination.
