Collins, Hugh Thompson, Dwain Murphy, Maestro, Stephen McHattie, Greg BrykZehn Jahre, nachdem er einen schwarzen Teenager zum Krüppel schlug, kommt Donnie aus dem Gefängnis frei und kehrt zurück ins irische Viertel von Halifax, wo sich seit seinem Abschied wenig geändert hat. George, der Vater von Donnies Opfer, erwägt vorübergehend, ihn zu erschießen, entschließt sich dann aber zur allseitigen Überraschung, ihn lieber zu trainieren, als Donnie von dem amtierenden schwarzen Boxchamp heraus gefordert wird in der erkennbaren Absicht, ihm gravierende Schäden zu verpassen.
Donnie Rose went to prison for beating a young man so brutally it left him handicapped for life. Nine years later, Donnie is out. He's a different man with only one place to go: back home to the same violent and racist neighborhood that created him. At the other end of town, the black community still wants revenge. The instrument of justice will be Ossie Paris, a devastatingly talented boxer who challenges Donnie to a match; a match Donnie's family and peers won't let him refuse. George Carvery has waited nine years to avenge his son's fate at the hands of Donnie. When finally they meet face to face, however, both realize they share a similar desire to overcome the past.
