A gritty Depression-era neo-noir about a taciturn street fighter and his promoter's doomed partnership, built on bare-knuckle violence and the grinding desperation of survival.
In the depression, Chaney, a strong silent streetfighter, joins with Speed, a promoter of no-holds-barred street boxing bouts. They go to New Orleans where Speed borrows money to set up fights for Chaney, but Speed gambles away any winnings.
