The series centers around Patrick Leary, who has retired from boxing after winning the heavyweight title and becoming a legend in the sport. He now lives with his wife, Theresa (played by Catherine McCormack), and three daughters in New Jersey and struggles to make ends meet. His brother Johnny (played by Pablo Schreiber) is his former manager, but the two have a strained relationship.
As Patrick considers a comeback to boxing, he must reckon with the toll the sport has taken on his body and his relationships. He also faces financial pressures and the temptation of illegal underground fights.
The show also explores the boxing world beyond the ring, including the politics of the sport and the personal lives of some of Patrick's former opponents and colleagues. The cast includes notable actors such as Stacy Keach, Reg E. Cathey, and Clarke Peters.
While the show received critical acclaim for its nuanced portrayal of boxing and its effects on the human psyche, it struggled with viewership ratings and was ultimately cancelled after one season. Nonetheless, it has remained a beloved cult hit among fans of the genre.
