Up and coming boxer Charlie Plate wants to win the State Welterweight championship bout. He also wants to help his beloved cousin, wrongly arrested and charged in a child's murder. Plante and his entourage encounter several brutal obstacles to obtaining that goal, including a vicious boxing opponent with neo-Nazi ideologies and a long string of brutal skull-bashing victories of his own in the ring. Plate must also fight him and doubt. From the black community and his own.
