Arm throws punches for the Devers family now, his boxing days behind him. The former fighter carries out their dirty work in the Irish countryside, his body and conscience bearing the weight of what he's become. His past haunts him while his present fractures around him. The notorious Devers clan keeps him close, using his fists and his desperation. Then a chance appears to escape their grip and give his family something better. Arm sees a way out of the violence that has consumed him. But the Devers don't let people walk away easily. Every choice he makes pulls him deeper into a web of loyalty and betrayal. His divided allegiances tear at him as he struggles between survival and redemption. The raging bull inside him fights against the man who wants to protect what matters most.
