Frank Mansfield probeert al jaren de begeerde Cockfighter of the Year-medaille te winnen, maar is daar tot nu toe nog nooit in geslaagd. In een laatste poging om de prijs te winnen, zet hij zijn volledige bezit op het spel in een weddenschap met de corrupte Jack.
Nee, helaas is Cockfighter nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
