Sonny Bear, the Tomahawk Kid, has a championship left hook, but the heavyweight trail is too full of meatball fights in nowhere towns. He's ready to hang it up. Alfred Brooks was a contender, then a street-smart New York cop, until a drug dealer's bullet shattered his spine and spirit. Now he's Sonny's manager - but how can you outsmart all the operators in this game from a wheelchair? Martin Malcolm Witherspoon's a fat, four-eyed bigmouth who calls himself "the only Black in America who can't jump." But he can take on the sleezebags of Las Vegas and Hollywood - and the casino lords and gunmen of the Moscondaga Nation - to save his pals and report the story of their wild and dangerous mission to rescue the Reservation and win the world title.
