When Danny Goode is released from prison after serving time for insider trading, he is keen to get back to his city-boy life as soon as possible. But stripped of his trading license and with a criminal record he soon learns that he can’t get his old life back.
With the help of his old friend Jon, Danny returns to his home-town and tries to reconnect with his ex-wife Chloe and their son Ben. With no job he starts washing pots in Jon's res-taurant run by Jon, and helps at the boxing club where they used to train as teenagers.
There, Danny meets Billy Foster, a local promoter who runs a £10,000 winner-take-all unlicensed boxing match. Desperate for cash, Danny challenges the prizefighter, setting himself up for an unlicensed fight against a formidable opponent.
As Danny trains towards his fight, the former city-boy must learn that people and relation-ships are more important than money, and what is really worth fighting for.
