Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

It's been more than ten years since German Super Middleweight Champion Jürgen "The Rock" Hartenstein won the German National Title and two years since he's stepped into the square circle. Now, at the age where most boxers are pondering retirement, "The Rock" is attempting to resurrect his career by getting back into an extensive training regiment and fighting without a sponsorship. But does a thirty five year old fighter really have any place in the ring? As the charismatic former champ begins calling promoters throughout the United States in hopes of proving himself worthy of a second shot, filmmaker Maximilian Plettau traces the journey of the vulnerable but quietly intense fighter with the heart of a true champion.
