BumRush is inspired by real events that happened in Montreal.[3] Bumrush refers to "storming into an establishment". After a series of raids by Montreal police on the criminal bikers gang and the Italian Mafia, a vacuum is created leading to a turf war between rival street gangs to fill the void. The "Kingdom" bar sees a new bloody chapter in the Quebec underworld including a series of attacks by the "IB 11" gang on the bar, forcing the owner to hire five extraordinary men under the leadership of "L'Kid" to confront the gangs.
