About Unbeatable
After a stint in prison for participating in fixed
boxing, former boxing champ Fai (Nick Cheung) is knee-deep in debt with
no solution in sight. To escape his debtors, Fai escapes to Macau and
works in a gym as an assistant instructor in weight loss classes. With
no money, Fai is arranged to share a house with recovering mental
patient Gwen and her ten-year-old daughter Dan.
Hot-blooded Qi
(Eddie Peng) was once the son of a rich man in Mainland China. However,
the family business failed, sending his dad into alcohol-fueled
depressing and forcing Qi to take up construction jobs in Macau. To
inspire his father to stand up again, Qi enters an open MMA competition
and starts training at Fai's gym.
Qi is
severely injured by Lee and in critical condition. Ignited by Qi's
persistence, Fai rediscovers his will to fight and challenges Lee to a
battle in the ring. How far will Fai take to regain his pride?
