The story is delivered in words-twisting, unique, innovative and continuous "rap storytelling style". An emotional and financial roller coaster life as the story goes back and forth in time. Leon Bongo's parents die of a meth drug overdose and he is left to look after himself in the streets. Coach Kenny, a veteran boxing trainer and promoter discovers him in a street brawl with other street kids over a share of pickpocketing loot. Coach Kenny shelters him in his gym, educates, clothes, trains and feeds him. Kenny takes advantage of Leon by betting his matches behind his back, betrays him, and rips him off a lot of his lifetime earnings. Leon is financially illiterate and also makes mistakes with his money in luxuries. A female journalist Gina who works for the Sports Journal and with experience in interviewing sports celebrities is given the task to interview Leon. During the interview she discovers Leon's vulnerable points. Leon is more focused on boxing but is ignorant of a lot of shenanigans and hullabaloo in the boxing fraternity. Gina opens a can of worms as she asks Leon about fixed matches, betting syndicates and use of performance enhancing drugs in the sport. Leon falls in love with Gina and they start dating. Coach Kenny is against the relationship but fails to stop their wedding. The story begins with the nemesis Don Ringo who has equaled retired Leon's 46-0-0 record challenging Leo. Leon now broke and desperate accepts the challenge. Leon has to fight his most challenging fighter and redeem himself. The last fight between Leo and Don is the grand finale.
