A rapid-fire biographical drama tracing Mike Tyson's rise from troubled youth to heavyweight champion and his catastrophic fall, marked by violence, loss, and moral reckoning.

The story of Mike Tyson. From his early days as a 12 year old amateur with a powerful punch, to the undisputed title of "Heavyweight Champion of the World", and ultimately to his conviction for rape. The story of his turbulent life moves quickly, never focusing for long on anything in particular.
