This was apparently not made when first proposed in 2012 to be directed by Matthew Saville, but is being shot in 2022, in the Goldfields-Esperance region.
A feature film set in 1970s Western Australia about a washed-up Irish boxer Kid Snow who is offered a rematch against a man he fought ten years ago on a night that changed his life forever. Finally faced with a chance to redeem himself, Kid comes to a crossroads when he meets single mother Sunny and is forced to contemplate a future beyond boxing.

However, a chance encounter with single mother Sunny (Phoebe Tonkin) forces him to imagine a future outside of the ring.
