Lights Out

Former champ Patrick "Lights" Leary is five years on from his last fight. The events of that night still haunt him and he now faces financial trouble after bad investments and the economic downturn. Both his old (brother and father) and new (wife and daughters) family rely on him and he faces difficult choices about keeping his lifestyle afloat. The only serious money he is offered is as a kind of debt collector and then his last opponent Richard Reynolds challenges him to a rematch.

Lights helps train the Leary gym's best prospect Omar for his first title shot. Johnny has to chase down Barry Word to secure the fight. Lights stays at home with his family for his birthday while the fight takes place.

Lights goes to confession to get all his sins off his chest. He makes his final preparations for his fight with Death Row as things get heated between the two of them. Hal Brenna reveals his own union of boxers, keen to get out from under Barry Word's thumb. Barry comes to Lights and tells him that the Morales fight was fixed.

The police and press get wind of what Lights did to the dentist and come calling. Lights wants his money from Hal Brennan. Hal comes to see him and suggests that if he deliver a bribe for him, the whole thing will disappear. Meanwhile Daniella discovers that Lights may have pugilistic dementia and worries about him.

Lights asks his whole family to let him fight again and he begins to train with his Dad. He wants an easy pay day against an old friend but soon learns that Johnny sold the rights to his next three fights to Barry Word.
