Plot summary
Sailor O'Connor has gone 63 fights without ever being knocked down, and now, retired, he needs money. His mother Rose is dying of cancer, and he wants to take her back to Ireland one final time, so he strikes a deal with Fast Eddie, a local promoter, for a purse that pays whether he wins or loses. Father Brennan urges Rose to make her son pull out, and she answers that the choice is Sailor's. King Solomon, an adult film performer, learns that his girlfriend Peg is pregnant and quits that work, returning to Cubby, the coach from his own boxing days. Diane Schuler, a recovering alcoholic, repeatedly asks Sailor to forgive her for something he will not discuss.
