Bullied ruthlessly and barely scraping by on the promise he made to his late mother, Marco endures life as the personal punching bag of Luka—a rich, sadistic streamer who live-broadcasts Marco’s suffering for online entertainment. 

Marco has long accepted that this is his fate. That is, until a new student, Theo, arrives—and with a single punch, shakes the very foundation of the school’s social hierarchy. Seeing Theo’s strength, Marco decides he wants to be strong too. There’s just one problem: Theo has zero interest in training an annoying, desperate, and frankly, kind of pitiful guy like Marco. (Which he really can't blame Theo for.)

But Marco is nothing if not persistent. And if Theo won’t train him willingly, then Marco will just have to endure every punch, every kick, and every beatdown until he learns something (anything!) from it. 

Between dodging Luka’s torment, crushing on his bully’s girlfriend, dealing with an unexpected second admirer, and getting his face slammed into the ground on a daily basis, an unruly, chaotic, and equally troubled group of friends forming around him, Marco is determined to claw his way out of the dirt. After all, if life insists on keeping him at the bottom, then he’ll just have to fight his way to the top.
