Trev is determined to protect his mother and sisters, especially from his stepdad, who has threatened them. His stepdad's return puts Trev under immense stress, as he left after threatening Trev's mum. Fearing for their safety, Trev decides to take matters into his own hands, literally. He starts learning to box to confront his stepdad. However, not everyone supports his plan, as Trev is a talented artist with the potential to build a better future. They advise him to focus on his art instead of boxing. But their advice feels useless in Trev's current reality, where he feels the need to protect his family. Ultimately, Trev realizes that his future is in his own hands, and he must make the tough decision of how to use them. He knows that boxing may be a risky path, but he is willing to take it to ensure the safety of his loved ones.
