"I'll fight. I'll get us the fuck outta here."
On the outskirts, 9-year-old Fish's father throws him in to the boxing ring, leaving the weight of the weekly pay-packet on his shoulders. Through the years, Fish becomes a deadly amateur fighter with a short fuse. Cherry wants nothing but to be with her love, Fish. His brother, Duffy, and his girlfriend, Bug, just want to live their lives without being dragged down by him. And Fish is terrified of becoming his father. Is it all too much to ask?
In this poetic and visceral drama that packs a punch, it's a fight to change the life you know for the better.
