Jackie Justice is a mixed martial arts fighter who leaves the sport in disgrace. Down on her luck and simmering with rage and regret years after the fight, she's coaxed into a brutal underground fight by her manager and boyfriend Desi and grabs the attention of a fight league promoter who promises Jackie a life back in the Octagon. But the road to redemption becomes unexpectedly personal when Manny - the son she gave up as an infant - shows up at her doorstep. A triumphant story of a fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out.
"A hard-hitting drama about the marginalized, helmed by Oscar-winner Halle Berry (for 'Monster's Ball') in her directorial debut. It's a powerful story that shows violence is everywhere. The plot focuses on the life of an ex-MMA fighter now fighting to regain custody of her son and restart her career in the ring. The child figure represents her redemption, a second chance, and also the resilience to not give up and fight despite all odds. In addition to directing, Berry stars as the lead and delivers a beautiful performance in both roles."
