Summary: Caleb Johnson is an amateur boxer who is ready for one of the biggest fights of his life. He’s tapped to make a challenge for the Lightweight Championship Title of the world. But trouble soon erupts, and his life takes an unexpected turn when he decides to take matters, and the law, into his own hands. Witnessing a chilling act of abuse that rips open his own repressed memories of childhood violence, he feels drawn to become a vigilante and dedicate his life to rescuing children in his neighborhood by punishing their abusive parents. As a pair of crackerjack detectives slowly close in on the self-appointed strong arm of the law, everything Caleb cares about in life is put at risk.
