Synopsis

Brant, N.Y., 1952... Daniel Mendoza, son of a Jewish professional boxer on the verge of his first title shot, blames himself for the terrible events that befall his family. However, while sheltered on an Iroquois reservation, he is counseled through a series of rituals and tests both physical and spiritual by two high-minded uncles--an Iroquois Faithkeeper and a Jewish Kabbalist--that urge him toward manhood and a life-changing discovery. The story weaves the spirituality of religion with young love, Red league lacrosse, football, and the corrupt world of boxing.
