Ivan Gibson is a boxer past his prime and the single father of Gabriella, a teenage daughter he barely knows or sees. Ivan suddenly finds himself as her main caregiver when his father, with whom Gabriella has been living with, is deemed terminally ill. Now Ivan is forced to fill a role he has neglected all his life, that of her father.
With his bank account nearly drained, he is offered a twelve-round boxing match between him and Hoyce Taylor, a rising star in the ring and a dangerous opponent. Taylor has never been knocked down for the ten count. Can Ivan be the first? If so, he will walk away with a cash prize.
But life gets very complicated—and messy—as Ivan struggles to create a bond with Gabriella while trying to train for the upcoming fight. When things crumble between them, Ivan is forced to face his personal demons and rethink his life.
