Dom, a promising boxing champion, grew up as a mixed-race adopted child in an all-white world in the north of England. His life is very much uneventful until he falls in love with Audrey, the only daughter of his coach. Running away to London, the young couple settles on an estate where Dom’s journey of discovery into his other cultural background soon exposes him once again to the ugly face of racism.
Despite trying his best to do right, after immersing himself in the urban culture and music of the black side of town, Dom becomes the innocent victim of an unfortunate series of events and has to go on the run. With his freedom, and even his life, at stake, and forces outside his control conspiring to bring him down, will Dom survive the last round?
