Synopsis

Play It to the Bone is a story about two aging fighters in LA who are friends. They receive a call from a Vegas promoter because his undercard fighters for a Mike Tyson bout that night are suddenly unavailable and he wants them to box each other.

They agree to the match as long as the winner gets a shot at the middleweight title. To get to Vegas, they enlist Grace, Cesar's current and Vinnie's ex-girlfriend, to drive them.

During the trip, flashbacks to their previous title shots, their competitive friendship, and Grace's motivational wiles are shown. Grace also has her own entrepreneurial dreams.

The fight itself is historic, lasting 10 rounds of savagery and courage. The questions arise: who will win, who will get the title shot, who gets Grace, and where will she find venture capital?
