    • A former youth boxing champion, Jimmy (Harris) is a man in search of hope but looking in all the wrong places. When he hits rock bottom he turns to his childhood boxing club and the only family he has left: gym owner Bill (Winstone) and corner man Eddie (Smiley). Back in training, years after anyone thought he was a contender, he will risk his life to stand tall and to regain his place in the world.

      Music by Paul Weller.
