About the film
Everyone calls him The Champ – because that’s
what he was, once.
Fifteen years ago, he made a fatal mistake, and ever
since he’s
been working for a violent mob boss, Tlaloc, to pay for it. Now,
his one true love is married to Tlaloc, he lives from one rail of coke
to the next – and
he’s seeing ghosts everywhere he goes.
But when a pollero (human
smuggling) handover with a violent Minutemen splinter group goes
disastrously wrong, The Champ is set on a collision course with powerful
forces on both sides of the border as he seeks justice for a group of murdered
migrants – and
redemption for himself.

Canadian-born international wrestling superstar Ian Hodgkinson (aka El
Vampiro); British celebrity gangster and author Dave Courtney (The
