Terrfied of history repeating itself, Frankie lets a succession of great boxers slip through his fingers. Then would-be boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) walks into the gym. The two find in each other a sense of family they lost long ago. What they don't realise is that they are about the face a battle that is going to demand more courage than they have ever known...
