Frankie Dunn has trained and managed some incredible fighters during
a lifetime spent in the ring. The most important lesson he teaches his
boxers is the one that rules life: above all, always protect yourself.
In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, Frankie has
been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time.
His only friend, Scrap, an ex-boxer who looks after Frankie's gym, knows
that beneath his gruff exterior is a man who has been seeking, for the
past 25 years, the forgiveness that somehow continues to elude him. Then
Maggie Fitzgerald walks into his gym.
