Plot summary
Eddie Sullivan is a retired fighter who owes money to his rival Memphis Earl, and he needs a new competitor for a $100,000 tournament in New Orleans. Earl has trained a bigger, scarier fighter, Redrum, and Eddie's own trainee is knocked out in a short match. Walter Krunk is 35 and has lived in the orphanage since childhood, where he is friends with a fellow orphan named Henry. A fire in the kitchen leaves it destroyed, and local law enforcement says the orphanage must close unless repairs are paid for within ten days. Eddie meets Walter and decides to train him as his fighter; the orphanage owner agrees, on the condition that Mary goes with them.
