Some people live life blow by blow.

Drama

Johnny Walker is a cowboy and a boxer. He is very shy and a bit of a fool. He is in love with Ruby, but he cannot tell her. He is also a bit old to keep on boxing, but its the only thing he does well.

VIBE

A quiet, earnest drama about a shy boxer navigating unrequited love and the twilight of his career. It feels like a worn-in denim jacket, familiar and a little sad, but full of heart.
