Two aging fighters in LA, friends, get a call from a Vegas promoter because his undercard fighters for a Mike Tyson bout that night are suddenly unavailable. He wants them to box each other. They agree as long as the winner gets a shot at the middleweight title. They enlist Grace, Cesar's current and Vinnie's ex girlfriend, to drive them to Vegas.

VIBE

A warm, character-driven comedy about old friends facing one last shot. It feels like a laid-back road trip with heart, full of banter and a touch of melancholy for days gone by.
