Vic "Bomber" Bealer (Jon Voight) is a handsome, manipulative boxer who aspires to something greater than the small-town life he knows in Texas. But, even when opportunities present themselves, Bealer is too restless and indecisive to take advantage.

Peaker), a girl who's way too young for him (Anne Archer) and a gay trainer (Ned Glass).
