Starting in 2013, we follow young amateur fighter Danny Ferrone as he battles a fatal genetic disease (Cystic Fibrosis) and 50% lung capacity to reach his dream of becoming a professional MMA fighter. Intimately filmed over the next 5 years, we watch his personal and professional goals slowly shift, and feel his painful realization that despite everything he’s put into it, going pro may not be in the cards. With an uncertain future, and grappling to reconcile the precious years he spent training instead of living, Danny signs up for one more fight: a Muay Thai Tournament. Determined to prove to himself that he’s earned his way into that ring, Danny delivers more than just a fight - he delivers hope.
