Crixus, a fabled survivor of countless boxing matches during slavery, escapes that horror by fleeing with his friend and trainer Shadow Jack and joining the Union Army to fight against the south. “Hurricane” is the white prize-fighter touring the South during Reconstruction, playing exhibition matches against black ex-slaves to demonstrate white supremacy. His sudden and unexpected impact on Crixus’ life gives us a tragic and triumphant look at the end of slavery, the Civil War, bare knuckle boxing and race relations in Maryland just after the Civil War.
