Synopsis

Retired boxer (Orlando Bloom) travels from Ireland to Las Vegas to make an unlikely comeback and take one final shot at the title. But with only one week to go until the fight, he still has thirty pounds to lose, as he embarks on an intensive and psychologically-taxing weight-cut programme.
