Description
Christmas 1955 – Hollywood Legion Stadium
For a Benefit Bout, Light-Heavy Weight Champ, Jimmy Doherty, faces off against Carlo Toro Bassani, but more could happen during the bout than the exchange of gloved blows. Carlo, a skilled boxer, might fight dirty because gangster Mickey Cohen owns him.
Without planning to, Jimmy’s wife, Lindy, and Carlo’s long-time fiancée, Rose, watch the fight sitting side-by-side, and soon Lindy—always full of empathy—has Rose sharing her deepest needs and fears. Rose wants Carlo to finally tie the knot, but she’s afraid if he doesn’t throw the fight—like Cohen wants—he’ll get KOed for good.
Can Lindy help Rose get her man for Christmas? What can Jimmy do during a bout to help a fellow boxer fight for his self-respect against a murdering thug?
