Meet Fish. Fish was born in fire, and takes care of himself. In the economically devastated area between Pittsburgh and West Virginia, he makes a dangerous living in the underground boxing matches. His younger brother Duffy patches his cuts between rounds, and tries to keep him out of jail. Cherry, a local homeless girl, falls in love with Fish, and they build a world around themselves. For Duffy and his girl Bug, life is about finding a way to survive. But Fish is not put together that way. He has restless blood, and he’s always fought himself and his friends out of trouble. This magical, visceral, uncompromising drama launched McManus’ career across the globe.
