Disgruntled cabbies. Towering skyscrapers. Subways jammed with the hopeful and the hopeless. No, this isn't New York City. Welcome to Camelot. The year is 2023 A.A. (After Arthur) A once majestic kingdom has forgotten its noble roots and become a cruel, modern metropolis fueled by blood and corruption. The honor and justice that King Arthur had stood for is long gone. And the simmering magic that once pulsed through the kingdom's heart is now the laughable stuff of children's bedtime stories. Now, Camelot's hungry citizens cram into 3MA arenas (Magical Mixed Martial Arts) and cheer for their new knights - murderous cage fighters without a shred of chivalry. Except for 17-year-old Marlon "Prince of Punches" Ambrosia, whose father, the once great 3MA legend, Excalibur, taught him to fight with honor. That is, before Marlon's mother died and his father fled the city in mourning, leaving Marlon to raise his precocious younger brother, Magnus, all on his own. Life seems to be one broken rib after the next. Until Marlon meets Amaris, a scrappy girl possessed by a crazy idea: that she's the great ancestor of King Arthur Pendragon...and that Marlon is the long-lost heir to the legendary sorcerer, Merlin. Her plan, like herself, is barebones and unhinged: train and enter Marlon into Fantasia, the most deadly 3MA tournament of the year, defeat the reigning 3MA Heavyweight Champion, Cain "Black Heart" Santana, and win Fantasia's coveted first place prize: the Diamond Staff, a powerful talisman-in-hiding that Amaris believes is the key to awakening Camelot from its centuries old slumber. But if Marlon plans to survive he must learn to rely on more than his fists to save the kingdom, before an ancient nemesis destroys everything and everyone he loves.
