Set in the mid-80’s, Baltimore, “The Old Lady & The Boxer” follows former Texas roughneck and current amateur boxer Joe Saturn as he battles his ghosts and searches for respect. He spends his days being punished in the ring, and his celebrated coach, ‘Alley-Oop’ Simpson is losing confidence in him. Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s scrappy, foul-mouthed old lady, Audrey, spends her nights drinking Irish whiskey on her front stoop. She takes an interest in Joe, and they forge a friendship built on sarcasm, boxing, and an unspoken desire to be understood.
