Zoli Szabó (21) has been boxing for 6 years under the supervision of Misi Sipos (60). Misi was once a dominant figure in the district's underworld. However, 10 years ago, a rival mafioso shot Misi, who converted after the incident and left the life of crime behind. Since then, he has been working with teenage kids in the district, teaching them to box. Zoli lives with his father, stepmother, little sister and fiancée in their one-room apartment. Their window overlooks one of the district's most notorious streets. Talented but unable to overcome his shadow on his own, he needs Misi's friendship and help to return to sport.
