Hezekiah Moscow and Alec Munroe, best friends from Jamaica, find themselves thrust into the criminal underbelly of London's bare-knuckle boxing scene. As Hezekiah finds fortune and fame through the art of puglism, he attracts the attention of the infamous Queen of the Fourty Elephant, Mary Carr, who sets about exploiting his talents to further her criminal enterprise. Meanwhile the menacing and self-declared emperor of the East End boxing world, Sugar Goodson, resolves to destroy Hezeziah, whose ambitions to fight in the West End threatens everything he has built. What ensues is a battle of the old world against the new.
