About the Film
It's a boxing movie, right? Well, not exactly. Forget Raging Bull or Rocky or Fight Club — The Main Event flips the narrative as Shelly floats and stings her way through an emotional battleground to emerge intact and with a new direction.
Synopsis
Shelly's mundane workday turns into a nightmare when she faces her boyfriend's betrayal and Marvin, a pesky tenant. Lured into a boxing match, she awakens to a brutal truth — and finally breaks free.
