In the brutal, whiskey-soaked world of 1912 Brooklyn, twenty-year-old Giovanni Gio Moretti is fighting just to breathe. By day, Gio is a five-foot-seven featherweight hauling seventy-pound blocks of ice down the frozen cobblestones of DUMBO. By night, he steps into the suffocating, smoke-filled basements of the underground subway circuit, fighting multiple unsanctioned bouts a night for a handful of silver coins. His ribs are a cage of corded muscle, his left eye is webbed with scars, and his stomach has known little more than stale bread. But Gio has a dream: to escape the tenements, save his sick little sister, and prove to Francesca-the baker's daughter he loves-that he can be a legitimate prize fighter. When a high-stakes, sanctioned bout at the glittering Manhattan Athletic Club offers a fifty-dollar purse, Gio thinks his salvation has finally arrived. He is brought in as a sacrificial lamb for a wealthy, undefeated Harvard prospect, but Gio possesses something the elite crowd can't buy: pure, unadulterated Brooklyn grit. But the ring is a cruel master. Forced to choose between the leather gloves and a future with the girl he loves, Gio must enter a brutal six-round war that will push his fragile body past its absolute breaking point. A gritty, heart-wrenching historical drama, the prize fighter is a powerful story of survival, the crushing weight of poverty, and the quiet victories that are won when a man simply refuses to fall.
