Two aging professional boxers and best friends, Vince Boudreau and Cesar Dominguez, have spent their careers in the shadow of the big leagues, never quite making the cut to the top. When an unexpected opportunity arises for a match in Las Vegas that could revitalize their stagnant careers, both jump at the chance despite the short notice. The fight promises a big payday and, more importantly, a shot at the middleweight title. However, the catch is they have to be in Las Vegas by the next day. With no flights available, they decide to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas together, setting the stage for a road trip that will test the limits of their friendship and resolve.

During their journey across the desert, the two boxers are accompanied by Grace Pasic, Vince's girlfriend, who adds her own complexity to the already tense dynamic between the two men. Grace is smart and independent, with her own motivations and interests in the outcome of the fight. As they travel, the trio encounters a series of bizarre and humorous situations and people, bringing to light the personal demons and rivalries between Vince and Cesar. The road trip becomes a critical backdrop, offering both men a chance to reflect on their past decisions, their futures, and what their friendship means to them. This period of introspection and the challenges they meet along the way set the stage for a dramatic showdown in Las Vegas that is about more than just a boxing match.
