It's another typical day for eighteen-year-old Maria while she's at school. She doodles in English, dozes off in Spanish, and picks a fight...again. It's the same old same old - someone gives her a hard time for being Cuban, so she gives them a hard time. This time around though, Sister Margaret, the all girls' Catholic school principal and old school nun, really isn't having it. She calls Maria's parents, Celia and Eduardo, and has them pick her up. But when it comes to finding peace and controlling herself, will Maria side more with her mother's solution, or her father's? Celia decides that she will cure her daughter's wild ways by taking her to church. Her father, Eduardo, a former Cuban boxer turned repairman, is determined to show her how to fight the right way and show her how boxing can be a way of making peace and finding one's faith. Will Maria find peace and faith in boxing, or will she return to her fighting ways?
