When a teen from Philadelphia relocates to North Carolina to escape a troubled past, he finds himself the target of relentless bullying. A former student of Adonis Creed, he reconnects with his boxing roots—but soon realizes he needs more. Under the guidance of both Adonis and Daniel LaRusso, and with the quiet support of a down-to-earth wrestler, he begins training in a unique blend of Boxing, Karate, and Wrestling. But when the school bully is revealed to be Malik Lang—the fierce grandson of Clubber Lang—the stakes skyrocket. With legends like Rocky Balboa, Johnny Lawrence, and Chozen Toguchi watching over him, and allies like Miguel Diaz, Samantha LaRusso, and Robby Keene at his side, the young fighter must rise above fear, anger, and doubt to find balance and claim his place in the ring—and in life.
