When Cheryl “No Mercy” Stewart, a two-time former boxing champion and recovering alcoholic, reaches out to the 21-year-old son she abandoned, she is met with deep-seated resentment.

After a devastating loss caused by his gambling-addicted trainer, Keith’s career loses direction, and his confidence takes a hit.
