With the help of his best friend and fellow inmate Doc (Jackson Rathbone), George (Gbenga Akinnagbe) becomes a champion-caliber boxer while serving a 40-year sentence in a Tennessee prison. When offered his freedom in exchange for competing in the 1984 Olympics, George shocks Doc and his fellow prisoners by turning the opportunity down -- unless he can also negotiate the release of his transgender cellmate, Crystal (Shawn-Caulin Young). Written and directed by Angela Shelton. Based on a true story. Big Freedia, Keir O'Donnell and Michael Badalucco co-star.
