On the day Grace's doctor tells her she has cancer in an advanced state, Charlie takes on new client, Argentine boxer Armando Bruza, Charlie's ticket to fame: he hopes to promote a fight with Ali. Because of Charlie's felonies, Grace is Bruza's titular manager. With the IRS and the church ladies circling the business, Grace takes the manager's role seriously and, along the way, Bruza charms her. Secrets play out: is there love at the Love Ranch? How will Charlie respond?

The truth is hard to say.

Oh, my God.

And everyone asked about you and

Now I feel very tired and I have

Discuss later.

It's not your fault, Grace.

My problem, eh?

I told them to go to hell, I go.

Look what I did.

Your hair.

It is terrible eh, no more curls.

Look at that, look at that.

My God, that scar.

The doctor said you could have

died fighting, why did you do that?

Grace, I am a fighter and I fight.

Do not give me that explanation.

He said you could have

killed at any moment.

I wanted to see, I wanted to see.

I do not care if I die, I die.

It's a joke, it's worse

joke in the whole damn world.

Why is this a joke?

I too am dying.

What?

I have some six months

Not true.

It is, I have all the tests.
