The Big Fix

A former Interpol cop in a bureaucratic role at FIFA uncovers an international match-fixing scandal and launches a high-stakes mission to stop whoever is behind it. His target: a passionate hustler who joins forces with Chinese Triads to earn millions of dollars rigging football games across the world. As they start to circle one another, a high-octane, globetrotting cat-and-mouse thriller ensues – pitting two defiant, determined men against each other.
