Lydia and Dustin share the fact that they are boxers. However, the two lead very different lives. Lydia Dunst was raised in the life of boxing by retired boxing star Kirkland Dunst. She strives for greatness in the ring and tries to please the coach, her father. 

Dustin King leads a double life. At home he's neglected, but in the underground boxing ring he's a star with a big secret. 
   
When Kirkland takes an interest in Dustin and goes out of his way to coach him, he must keep it a secret from his daughter. Dustin will risk his security to box and Lydia will risk her father's trust to help Dustin. To become better boxers, Lydia and Dustin must fight it out in the ring while also fighting for their own hearts.

One thing rings true, as they will soon discover: secrets can hurt more than hits.
