Plot Synopsis
Heavyweight boxing legend and Brooklyn native Mike Tyson always has loved breeding and raising pigeons, and now, for the first time, he enters the highly competitive and bizarrely fascinating subculture of pigeon racing. As he faces his next challenge in life, Tyson reconnects with his roots and returns to his childhood neighborhood where the road to self-awareness, the path to inner peace and the vision into the future is with these birds. Supporting the novice racer are the members of Tyson's Corner: Mario Costa, his lifelong friend and promoter/manager; Vinnie Torre, his esteemed and respected pigeon trainer; and the Roman Brothers, his pigeon caretakers. His rivals include the younger yet more experienced racers Joe Green and Helder Rodrigues.
