SYNOPSIS: Frankie Dunn has trained and managed of the best fighters during a lifetime spent in the ring. The most important lesson he taught his boxers is the one that rules his life: above all, always protect yourself. After a painful estrangement from his daughter, Frankie has been unable for a long time to get close to anyone. His only friend is Scrap, an ex-boxer who looks after Frankie's gym and knows that after the exterior surly fellow, there is a man who goes to Mass every day for 23 years, seeking a redemption that so far eludes him. Then Maggie Fitzgerald appears one day in his gym. Maggie never had much, but she has something that very few people in the world has: she knows what she wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie has reached where she is, relying on her innate talent, impassive concentration and tremendous willpower. But more than anything, what she wishes is someone who believes in her. The last thing Frankie needs in this world is to assume this type of responsibility, not to mention risk. Bluntly, he describes to Maggie the bitter reality: she is too old, and he does not train girls. But the word is not without significance when one has no choice. Unable to abandon her ambition in this life, Maggie is crushed in the gym every day, with only the support of Scrap. Finally convinced by Maggie's unwavering determination, Frankie begrudgingly agrees to train her.
