A new independent feature film, and an intense crime thriller set backstage at a major boxing event, “tracing Tony Gale’s (Ciara Berkeley of The Deceived and Normal People) tumultuous journey from the dressing room to her ring walk in a night of deceit, betrayal, and life-altering decisions.
As tensions mount in the dressing room, Toni wrestles with her conscience; a betting scandal brews within the underworld; illicit affairs are exposed involving her coach; The Casey Brothers face a potential murder inquiry; and Toni’s only real friend fights for her life due to inadequate medical attention after collapsing post-fight.”
Writer/director Maurice O’Carroll’s new Irish feature hits the big screen this week, and with a stellar cast and crew behind it, including actor/producer Sinead O’Riordan (The Dry, Christmas Perfection) and John Connors (Love/Hate, Cardboard Gangsters), and already garnering some high praise, it looks to be another addition to this year’s run of incredible, independent Irish cinema.
