Plot: Christian singing sensation Carman Licciardello stars in this inspirational tale of faith and courage from within the boxing ring. Carman (Orlando Leone) is a retired boxer who has given up his gloves in favor of religion. Now a struggling preacher, he dreams of keeping his father's ministry running but does not have the money to support his struggle. Instead he works as a security guard at a hotel and operates a youth center on the side. But when his hotel job is put on the line by a hotel guest, Keshon Banks (Jeremy Williams) a current boxing champion, who files a noise complaint during Carman's shift, a mean-spirited promoter intervenes, threatening to have Orlando fired unless he agrees to go back into the ring for one last fight. Keshon's manager, Freddie (Michael Nouri), is Carman's estranged brother and he makes a deal with him: fight one last time and he will put up the money for the family's ministry. In order to realize his dreams of the future Carman puts his life and faith on the line to fight a final fight in a rousing action-packed finale reminiscent of great boxing films such as Sylvester Stallone's ROCKY and Robert De Niro's RAGING BULL.
