About

Charley Davis, against the wishes of his mother, becomes a boxer. As he becomes more successful the fighter becomes surrounded by shady characters, including an unethical promoter named Roberts, who tempt the man with a number of vices. Charley finds himself faced with increasingly difficult choices.

The violent allure of the boxing ring clashes violently with the quiet dignity of a man trying to outrun his own impulses. This noir character study pits a rising fighter against the corrupting influence of a promoter who views human ambition as nothing more than a commodity.
