- Summary:
- Derrick is a ghetto teenager who dreams of being a world boxing champion. But it's election year in Jamaica and when politics and tribal violence divide the country, his father forbids him from going to the boxing gym, which is situated in a rival part of town. Defiantly, Derrick follows his fists until he is selected to box for the national team in a competition against Cuba, but when the local "don" tries to blackmail him into throwing the fight, Derrick and family are caught up in a spiral of violence.
