A darkly comedic crime thriller about a washed-up boxer and unlikely allies executing a blackmail scheme that spirals into larger consequences.

Rodney is a former boxing champ who, after a deathbed visit to his trainer and mentor, is propelled into reclaiming victory for his now simple life as a nightclub bouncer.
