Synopsis/Details
Marshall Garrett is done. With Oregon. With crime. With running weed with his alcoholic ex-Navy dad. After a shootout leaves his father dead, he vanishes to Thailand with a backpack full of stolen cash, a golden navy ring, and a dream: fighting at the iconic Bangla Boxing Stadium.
But what starts as one of those "white-dude-travels-to-Asia-to-find-his-zen-redemption-arc-stories" turns into something far deeper and way messier.
Enter Jenna: Thai-born, Harvard educated, fierce in the ring, and heir to a billion-dollar empire built on industrial PVC. She’s hiding from her legacy, coaching fighters in a sweaty Phuket gym, and very much not looking for trouble. Then Marshall walks in, all attitude and bruised soul. Their connection? Immediate. Dangerous. Inevitable.
As they train, flirt, and fall in love, Marshall’s past slithers back into view as two violent rednecks with unfinished business and a bloodthirsty agenda travel to Thailand for payback. Meanwhile, Jenna must choose: keep running from her name, or use the immense power it gives her to protect the life she’s building.
Told with punchy dialogue, streetwise charm, and aching vulnerability, FARANG FEVER is a blistering cocktail of fight-night adrenaline, love across cultures, and revenge soaked in Thai neon. It's "Rocky" meets "Succession" meets "True Detective", soaked in sweat, weed, heartbreak, and hope.
