This is the story of Kenny Grey, an American unknown who travels to Ireland to box. The ordeal in the ring grinds out a tale of determination, will, deception, belief, betrayal and love itself. It is the story of what one man will do to realize a dream, what another will do to forget, and the love of a woman that touches both. Is it all about a boxing crown for Kenny Grey or is it redemption for an aging trainer, Barry "Dukes" McDonough? Will Moira's son know a father now, or will he taste the same desertion she knew years ago? Is Grey a champion or just a great fighter? The answers are found behind the echo of the final bell, the climactic fight in Grey's lust to be a champion.
