Curtis “The Hammer” Jerome is an aging boxer who is finally nearing a championship. He defeats Kiki Ortega, and Ortega dies in the aftermath of the fight. 

Confused by his remorse and his emotions, he struggles to keep together his relationship with girlfriend Angela, and is angered when his promoter Eddie tries to cast him as a killer to prop up his fame. 

He also struggles with his feelings for Christina, Kiki’s widow. He tests the loyalty of trainer Nathan and manager Max, and he is dogged by a life that he left behind him in tatters, in Fresno. 

In the end he tries to reverse his plummeting career, and to learn to function with guilt and the self-absorption within.
