A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin.

 

Lionsgate promises the there’s a “soul stirring, and unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed.”
