Unbeknownst to them, their daughter Ruby, Christopher's mother, has been talking to an enthusiastic sports writer named Trevor Wallace who wants to write a book about Clemmet's life. Clemmet finds the project an excuse to relive all his old fights while Addie is increasingly hostile towards Trevor.
