A former amateur boxing prospect, now 40 years old, is given a second chance to compete in the Olympics.

Jerry Ferro's 40th birthday prompts a harsh self-assessment, revealing a life of underachievement. A former amateur boxer, Jerry quit to preserve his undefeated record, instead drifting between construction jobs and an unsatisfying relationship. He still teaches boxing to middle-aged men in Pasadena and works as a handyman. After sparring with Malice Blake, an up-and-coming pro, Jerry is convinced to return to competitive boxing after a 20-year layoff, starting a hilarious journey towards Olympic gold.
