Summary: Small time criminal, Billy Simpson, finds a way to make some money by managing his son Eddie who is an up and coming boxer. When the police turn up at Eddie's first prizefight events take a turn for the worse and as a result Eddie is shot dead. Now Billy must find out exactly what happened.

Michael Caine stars in this British crime drama as Billy "Shiner" Simpson, a former boxer who, after ruining his chances at becoming a champ is now a small-time boxing promoter representing his son Eddie (Matthew Marsden). Eddie has accomplished everything Billy couldn't, and is set to fight an American champ for the title. However, when things do not go as expected and Eddie winds up being killed, Billy immediately suspects foul play from the American's manager and his archrival, Frank Spedding (Martin Landau). However, as his rage and paranoia grows, Billy comes to suspect his closest friends as well as his daughters, sending him on a murderous rage to exact revenge for his son's death and his ruined life.
