Swing Bout is an intense crime/thriller set backstage at a major boxing event, tracing Tony Gale's (Ciara Berkeley, The Deceived, Normal People ) tumultuous journey from the dressing room to her ring walk in a night of deceit, betrayal, and life-altering decisions.
Toni, like most boxers at the beginning of their fight career, has dreams of being a world champion ,but, here on fight night, amid the bright lights and the chance to box in front of a huge TV audience on a major fight card, reality strikes hard and Toni finds herself low on confidence and even lower on cash.
She becomes entangled in a web of corruption spun by her promoters, The Casey Brothers. They and her conniving coach tempt her into taking a dive against a hot prospect with connections to the underworld in exchange for a lucrative payoff.
As tensions mount in the dressing room, Toni wrestles with her conscience; a betting scandal brews within the underworld; illicit affairs are exposed involving her coach; The Casey Brothers face a potential murder inquiry; and Toni’s only real friend fights for her life due to inadequate medical attention after collapsing post-fight.
Pushed to her physical and emotional limits, Toni confronts the brutal truths of the underworld and the sacrifices demanded by her dreams. With its gripping narrative and bold characters, Swing Bout is an independent Irish made film that keeps the audience on edge.
