Bodybuilder Daniel Lugo works at the Sun Gym in. With a host of wealthy clients all living their own version of the American Dream, Lugo becomes more and more dissatisfied with his own personal state of affairs. Believing that his client Victor Kershaw is a crook, Lugo enlists the help of fellow bodybuilders Adrian Doorbal and Paul Doyle in concocting a plan of kidnapping and torturing him until he signs over all his wealth. Pain and Gain is an odd if intriguing adaptation of a true story.
