Catacombe (2018)

In the gritty, cutthroat world of lower-tier professional football rests Jermaine Slagter, a seasoned 32-year-old defensive linchpin for FC Barkas, a beloved people's club. Once a man of indulgence, his life was marred by alcohol, promiscuity, and a dangerous incline towards gambling. This reckless path led him to lose his wife Naomi and their daughter Joy, the precious pieces of his life he so desperately yearns to reclaim. Now, Jermaine is locked in a relentless struggle against his own past, straining to keep his life on track and win back his family. But his past sins are catching up as his body threatens to betray him, and his once secure position as team captain teeters on the edge of uncertainty. A painful rejection from Naomi, weary of his destructive habits, sends Jermaine spiraling into the murky depths he was determined to evade - the shadowy world of an illegal gambling den. Here, he finds himself in the merciless grip of a match-fixing syndicate, sinking into a daunting €100,000 debt. With a mere three weeks to repay the money, Jermaine is plunged into a heart-pounding race against time. His starting position on the team hangs by a thread, and the syndicate's ominous shadow lurks unrelentingly over him. As the clock brutally ticks towards the deadline, Jermaine is thrown into the most significant game of his life - a high-stakes gamble not just for his career, but for the chance to salvage his crumbling life and prevent his family from slipping away forever. Catacombe is a riveting tale of redemption, resilience, and the desperate lengths a man will go to in order to keep his world from shattering.
