A noir-inflected moral tragedy about a boxer's corruption by ambition and vice, caught between his mother's values and the seductive pull of money and power.
Charley Davis, against the wishes of his mother, becomes a boxer. As he becomes more successful the fighter becomes surrounded by shady characters, including an unethical promoter named Roberts, who tempt the man with a number of vices. Charley finds himself faced with increasingly difficult choices.
