When up-and-coming sports writer Erik Kernan (Josh Hartnett) saves a homeless man from a scrape with a group of rowdy college kids, he unwittingly finds himself face-to-face with no ordinary bum, but Champ, the one-time boxing great Bob Satterfield (Samuel L. Jackson). What begins as a story resurrecting a once-great man turns into an incredible journey, and an opportunity for Erik to reexamine his own life, his relationship with his young son (Dakota Goyo)and his recently separated wife (Kathryn Morris).
