Dante Jones, a young boxer on the verge of major career success and fame, disappears from his dressing room just minutes before a big fight. At first the team suspect that he got cold feet and ran away or that it is a publicity stunt arranged by a dodgy promoter, but when a security guard confesses that Dante gave him a large sum of money to lie about seeing him leaving, they begin to think something else might be going on. Further investigation uncovers a world of unscrupulous promoters and managers, drug connections and fixed fights. However, the biggest trouble in Dante's life seems to come from an old sibling rivalry that may finally have been settled in an extremely deadly way.
