Movie Description An honor student is forced to transfer to a school in a poor black area because his father owes the Mob for gambling debts. Taunted by local thugs, he proves himself in a street brawl and attracts the attention of a shady promoter who forces him to fight in his illegal arenas by buying his father's markers. Descending into the hellish world of illegal boxing may be the only way out of the poverty surrounding him.
