Synopsis:

After serving time for insider trading, disgraced city broker Danny Goode finds there's no way back to his old life. Trying to reconnect with his estranged wife and son but short of cash and struggling with a secret gambling addiction, he enters an unlicensed boxing match with a cash prize.

Speaking about the inspiration and intentions behind the film, Mark Hampton has stated:

“I wanted to do a different take on the traditional boxing movie. I've worked in the city, seen how some of those city traders live and I wondered what it would be like to take one of those guys, and strip it all away. I wanted to show a character whose priorities change from the material to the personal. I'm a dad and I know the emotional commitment that parenthood brings. He has to learn what's worth fighting for.”
