The story follows a homeless addict who, in a last-ditch attempt to turn his life around, discovers a lost masterpiece in a thrift store. This chance encounter sets him on a desperate journey of redemption, survival, and self-discovery.
The film features an impressive cast, including Kross. Alongside the former WWE NXT Champion, there is Gustavo Ramirez (The Oval, Grey\'s Anatomy), Sari Sanchez (Signature Move, NCIS, Power, Empire), Sammy Horowitz & Adam Pasen (Power Book IV : Force).
Kross, known as Karrion Kross in WWE, finished his time with the promotion in August after the two sides failed to come to terms over a new contract. Since then, Kross and his wife Scarlett have hit the independent circuit, and will make their House of Glory debut on October 10.
For Kross, the film marks a chance to showcase a different side of his artistry beyond professional wrestling. Between an award-nominated short film and an upcoming memoir, Kross is establishing himself as a multifaceted performer inside and outside the ring.
