About the film:

After serving time in prison, former street fighter Iden returns home determined to turn his life around. His path crosses with Lilly, a resilient blind woman who has been navigating life alone since her father was tragically killed in a grocery store robbery. Their shared loneliness draws them together, and they find solace and love in each other.

As Iden strives to build a new future with Lilly, his troubled past resurfaces.

Damien, a ruthless figure from his old life, demands that Iden return to the ring to settle an outstanding debt. Despite his efforts to leave the streets behind, Iden is forced back into fighting when he learns Lilly needs expensive surgery to save her remaining vision.

Together, Iden and Lilly confront their broken pasts, discovering strength in their love and hope for a brighter future. In the end, Iden must decide if fighting for Lilly’s happiness—and their shared dreams—is worth risking everything.
