Plot summary
Tommy Conlon arrives in Pittsburgh and turns up at the house of his estranged father, Paddy, a man in recovery from alcoholism. At a gym, Tommy asks to spar Pete "Mad Dog" Grimes, a ranked middleweight, and knocks him out, and a recording of the session spreads online. Tommy then asks Paddy to train him for Sparta, a mixed martial arts tournament with a five million dollar purse, on the condition that Paddy is his trainer and nothing more. In Philadelphia, his older brother Brendan teaches high school physics and cannot keep up with the mortgage. He fights in parking lots for money, the school suspends him without pay when it learns of it, and he asks his old trainer, Frank Campana, to take him on.
