In Manila’s most merciless slum called Impierno Sa Lupa, an underground arena of human death matches has created an epidemic of bloodlust that has spawned fanatical cults, especially around five Immortals, an undefeated clan of ruthless fighters bankrolled by a corrupt politician.

Gabriel, a once promising eskrimador, comes home from living abroad, to once again pick up his sticks to avenge the death of his Guru and search for his missing brother.

In the tradition of City of God and Enter the Dragon, Impierno Sa Lupa marks the Philippines’ entry into the world of modern martial arts cinema.
