Leaving his home of Cuba behind, Yunian steps foot in Miami with dreams of becoming the greatest American boxer of all-time. There’s only one problem: Yunian is a narcoleptic pet rooster.
Dreaming of a better life, Yunian wakes late every morning and never fulfills his one responsibility: waking his owner, Flaco, for work. After showing up late for the fourth time in a week, Flaco gets fired from his job. Pushed into desperate measures, Flaco will have two options to survive: sell Yunian to a Santera or finally let him step into the ring.
