'A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.'
Stanley is unemployed and going nowhere fast with his boxing dreams. Until he meets Fader, a stranger offering something that could help Stanley train harder and faster to achieve his dreams.
But all power comes at a price in Fader's world and Stanley soon finds himself out of his depth in a culture dominated by performance enhancing drugs and violence.
