In the decaying industrial town of Ashwick, a young man enters the brutal world of underground boxing to pay for his sister’s surgery. Every scar, every fracture, and every medical record tells an indisputable story—but the detectives, coroners, and lawyers who interpret these silent witnesses are haunted by their own prejudices.
