Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) and Josh Harnett (30 Days of Night) turn out knockout performances in this touching and inspiring tale of fathers and sons and the power of redemption based on a true story.
Sportswriter Erik Kernan (Harnett) wants nothing more than to discover a story great enough to make the headlines, so when he meets Champ (Jackson), a former boxing champion living on the streets, he knows he has a shot to save them both. Recording his new-found friend's unbelievable tale of triumph and defeat, Kernan gets his story and his fame. But as Champ's tale falls under scrutinous eyes, Kernan will have to learn that what makes a story truly great is the quality of the man behind it.
