Realising that his life is going nowhere, a man decides to go out in a mask and pick fights with random people on the street. He knows it's reckless and amoral, but he doesn't care – it's liberating. He feels like a "man". And as he gets a taste for it, the consequences of these bouts soon come back to bite him. Tap Out! is a dramedy story about violence, masculinity and morality; an examination of identity, purpose and male loneliness. It's Fight Club meets Fleabag meets James Graham's Punch.
