Present day, in the Boxing Gym of Mr. Lawrence, a 60+ unofficially retired, African American. It’s a simple Gym – one Heavy Bag, a speed/dodge bag, a cot, and one short stool that only Mr. Lawrence sits on.

Michael Taylor, a 32 year old, African American, and once considered the number 1 contender in boxing, has just received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business. He decides to stop by the gym to invite Mr. Lawrence to his graduation party. More importantly, Michael wants to convince Mr. Lawrence to be his trainer again, to resurrect his previously successful but short-lived boxing career.

One false step and his life can become a living hell. Whom can Michael trust? Can he find support and love in those who are fighting their own demons? Love and adoration are fleeting. Public opinion is the order of the day – lose it and it can cost Michael his life. Just when Michael thinks he has it figured out, life throws him a curve. Could love be Michael’s last chance to win this fight?
