Kolbe Ravenna, from middle-class Bensonhurst, has her life perfectly in order: she spends her summers at an exciting archeological dig in Herculaneum, she has a promising position waiting at the Museum of Natural History when she graduates from Columbia University, and she's engaged to Eric Reynolds, a young Cardiologist who dotes on her. But when her uncle is murdered in south Brooklyn, she feels obligated to manage the professional boxing career of her charming but simple-minded cousin, Joey Cortez.
As soon as she decides to do so, her life immediately begins to unravel, as she finds herself thrust into the dangerous masculine world of low-rent gyms, undercard fights, and unscrupulous promoters.
Will Kolbe be able to guide Joey to a title fight?
Will it destroy her relationship with Eric?
Will her uncle’s murderer also be coming after her?
