Rick, an American expat, pressures his half-Filipino son, Jaime, to cheat in a boxing match by tampering with his gloves. The result: his opponent Pedro, a local Manila fighter, dies from his injuries. When Pedro's girlfriend, Divina, uncovers their crime and the police get involved, Jaime is forced to make a decision – stick by his father and cover up the crime, or risk everything to save Divina and her young son.
