Synopsis

Josh Hartnett plays Erik, an upcoming sports reporter, who rescues a homeless man (Samuel L Jackson). When Erik uncovers the homeless man's real identity, none other than Champ - a former boxing legend believed to have died - he seizes this opportunity to make a name for himself like his successful father.

But Erik's ambitious plan to reintroduce Champ to the world leads him to question his own life and that of his family.
