A 35-year-old unassertive computer programmer Jack Sullivan embarks on a journey of self-rediscovery when he decides to drastically change his life and become a pro boxer in order to fulfill his dark purpose. But why did he choose a homophobic, racist, and sexist former heavyweight champion as his coach?

This novel is intended for those who are affected by toxic masculinity and gender stereotyping; those who are concerned about homophobia and racism; and those who like to read outsider stories, books about the triumph of the human spirit.
