A claustrophobic, body-horror-tinged drama about obsession and self-destruction, where a boxer's desperate pursuit of one last chance becomes a descent into physical and psychological torment.

A retired boxer intends to return to the ring for one last shot at the title, but first he must make the weight. Holed up in a room in Las Vegas with an unscrupulous trainer, he embarks on an intensive and illegal weight-cutting program.
