Sam Pennington’s life has fallen
apart. His father is dead. His mum’s started drinking. And
now they’ve been dumped in a dismal public-housing complex
in East London. Sam’s anger at his circumstances puts him on
the brink of expulsion from school and into dangerous
conflict with those around him.
Professional boxing trainer Jerry Ambrose has finally gotten
everything together. After a turbulent early life, his
newfound faith has helped him reconcile with his past and
dedicate his life to helping others.
But when a brutal street fight leads Sam to Jerry’s boxing
club, both their futures are thrown into question. As Jerry
reaches out to Sam, an extraordinary fighting talent
emerges—a talent that reopens the wounds of Jerry’s own
life. Both find themselves battling what can happen to a
man’s soul when his anger is channeled through his fists.
Despite wowing ringside crowds, Sam’s boxing success fails
to bring him peace or happiness, while Jerry’s inner
struggles threaten the very core of his beliefs. Can Sam be
saved from his rage? Or will Jerry’s reawakened ambition
tear them both apart?
