This is a powerful coming-of-age story following the ups and downs of a young boxer's life inside and outside the ring. Jimmy has a calling to box and nothing can stop it, not even the veto of his parents. So he spars in secret, sneaking down to the local gym to meet with his mentor/trainer Harry. Still, he's haunted by guilt, manifested as the specter of his father. Complicating matters is the plight of his best friend, who hates boxing but is forced into the sport by his wealthy father
