✦ Synopsis

There are two of them in the boxing ring.
One weighs 145 pounds, stands 5 foot 5, and is twenty-six years old.
The other one? Nobody knows his weight and it doesn't matter how tall he is, he'll grow.
No one has bandaged his wrists, he's wearing boxing gloves, he's bouncing on his toes in the ring.
He's nine years old.

A dark, gripping coming-of-age tale that explores friendship and family, love and betrayal, masculinity and violence.
