Every week, Virgil dreams of his father Ernest telling him about his earlier life as a boxer. And every week he dreams of a crossing glance from a young woman named Margot. This week, his father announces that he will finally come to see his son fight on the boxing ring. One problem: Virgil has not been boxing for the last three years.
