    1h 44min

    Donnie (Rossif Sutherland) wet to prison for beating a young black man so brutally, that left him handicapped for life. 9 years later, Donnie is out. He's a different man with only one place to go: back home to the same violent and racist place that created him.

    At the other end of town, the black community still wants revenge. The instrument of justice will be Ossie Paris (Flex Alexander), a devastatingly talented boxer who challenges Donnie to a match; a match the white community won't let Donnie refuse.

    George Carvery (Danny Glover) has waited nine years to avenge his son's fate at the hands of Donnie. When they meet face to face, Carvery surprisingly overcomes his need for revenge. He wants to get on with his life and let Donnie do the same.

    As the barely contained racism boils to the surface, Carvery undertakes to train Donnie for the fight. Their partnership makes them outcasts from both tribes who will only be satisfied by blood in the ring. The two men get th know each other in the eye of a storm knowing full well that their futures will be decided with the bell of the first round.
