Vic Bealer, a young boxer from a small town in Texas known by his ring name "The Bomber," seems to be on his way to big things, remaining undefeated as an amateur with a possibility of making the U.S. Olympic boxing team.
Without any explanation, Vic walks away from everything, including his family, fiancée, and his fighting career. Disaffected and disillusioned, he enters into relationships with small-town girls Janelle and Drenna, leaving trainer Arty to wonder if The Bomber will ever return.
