Synopsis

Aging boxer Sal (Kebbell) faces diminishing prospects as he works a day job, tries to connect with his disinterested teenage daughter (Kila Lord Cassidy) and takes out his frustrations at the local boxing gym. When his old sparring friend Vince (Shia LaBeouf) is released from prison, Sal is offered a tempting, but destructive, opportunity.
