Explained simply
Boxing dramas use the sport to tell stories about ambition, setbacks and the lives fighters build outside the ring. A comeback story follows someone trying to regain form and opportunity after an earlier promise has gone unrealised.
In this film, Carlos Sanson Jr. plays a boxer seeking another chance, with Gina Rodriguez directing. The cast brings together actors and performers from film, television and music, while boxing choreographers Clayton J. Barber and Eric Brown shape the fight scenes.
Rodriguez and producer Justin Baldoni previously worked together on the television series Jane the Virgin. Emily Austin, a sports broadcaster making her feature acting debut, plays a boxing announcer, a role connected to her experience covering sport.
