Catch the Fair One

In a dimly lit corner of the city’s underground boxing circuit, the air hums with the raw thrum of fists and whispered desperation. The world the film inhabits is one where shadows stretch across streets that have long forgotten the promises of daylight, and where every fight feels less like sport and more like a survival ritual. The tone is gritty and unflinching, weaving together the visceral intensity of the ring with the quiet, aching ache of a community left on the margins.

Kaylee, a Native American woman whose past includes a brief stint as a professional boxer, now lingers between the fluorescent glow of a women’s shelter and the clatter of a downtown diner where she works as a waitress. Beneath her calm exterior lies a fierce determination that flares whenever she thinks of her younger sister, Weeta, who vanished without a trace. Kaylee’s history of addiction and her struggle to reclaim a sense of agency color every step she takes, and her knowledge of the sport becomes both a weapon and a reminder of who she once was.

Compelled by love and a relentless need for answers, Kaylee pushes herself into a labyrinthine world where the lines between justice and vengeance blur into a single, trembling thread. The film follows her as she navigates this perilous terrain, drawing on the discipline of her boxing past while confronting an indifferent system that seems to have turned its back on the missing. The atmosphere stays taut with tension, inviting the audience to wonder what will be uncovered when a fighter’s resolve meets the darkness that has swallowed her sister.
