In this metaphoric drama, a mediocre boxer struggles with challenges that threaten to deliver the most devastating blow of all: abandonment of his dreams.

His father and manager (played by former heavyweight boxing great, Gerry Cooney) once told him: "It takes a brave man to step into the boxing ring once…and you gotta be crazy to step in their twice."

Yet amateur boxer "Razor Ray" Netti remains determined to turn pro someday - and see all his hard work and sacrifices pay off when he wins that big title fight.

Ray's mettle and resolve to achieve his someday-dream, however, are challenged by formidable contenders from everyday realities: mounting tension with his wife as bills continue to mount; the terminal illness of his supportive mother; and a berating boss at his dead-end job.

It's Ray's next big match - and hope runs high for his big break. But a brutal blow finds him struggling hard to return to his feet. Facing down his shadows of doubt, Ray discovers his greatest opponent is himself.
