Little Dog

- Season 1

(2018)

It's been five years since Tommy walked out on the welterweight championship fight with Rico St. George, that act which is still largely seen as cowardice. Tommy's ex-girlfriend Pamela, who was supposedly in Tommy's figurative corner on the day of that fight, is also now married to Rico. It's also Tommy's birthday, something that no one, even his family, seems to care about, they who are more concerned about wishing Sylvia a happy birthday, her birthday which is still a week away. Tommy's disintegrated life as a washed up boxer could take a turn when Chesley posts a ...

After publicly accepting Rico's challenge for another bout, Tommy is having second thoughts as he is getting decimated in the media, and as he realizes he is out of shape and has no money to hire a trainer. Even most of his family doubts if he should do it, except Ginny, who may her own motives in supporting Tommy's return. But what starts out as a way out of the bout for Tommy ends up being a return to the ring earlier than expected in participating in a charity bout for kids. In going through with this return to his former life, Tommy has to confront his old boxing ...

Tommy needs to find a job to be able to pay for his training for the bout against Rico. He ends up meeting Lowly Sr. for the first time in five years - since Lowly was charged with attempted manslaughter just prior to Tommy's last championship bout with Rico - and balks at the idea Lowly has in preparing for the bout stemming from what was happening in Tommy's corner the last time around. Tommy's own idea of getting his old job at Devereaux's Seafood Empire may not be easy as he hopes. The one seeming bright spot in Tommy's current life is running into Vaani more and ...

It's the day of the press conference, those in Tommy's corner wanting him to change the minds of those who believe he is a coward, a woman beater or worse of all a cowardly woman beater. Although probably too late for this press conference, someone mentions to him that his public image needs a figurative "Pamela" by his side. Before getting in too deep with Tucker, Tommy also wants to set some ground rules in his professional relationship with Tucker, who seems to have other business to attend to in training Tommy. Tommy even making it to the press conference let ...

Tommy and Rico both have problems, Tommy being in prison for assaulting Vaani's ex-husband, Milo, and Rico facing some public backlash for a misunderstanding stemming from the press conference. On the positive, Tommy, out of circumstance, is able to get some training in in his incarceration. Tommy's incarceration is short-lived is those in his corner will not allow his public image to be tarnished by being in prison, bail which they will post at anyone else's expense. With Tommy out of prison, he is determined to make it up to Vaani, who he invites to the annual Ross ...

It's the day before the bout, the day of the official weigh-in. To Tommy's surprise, he is the odds on favorite to win the bout. Tucker believes they can use the odds to their advantage. Tommy has to decide what to do about Tucker's plan, Rico who may give him an out. For the first time, Sylvia is on Tommy's side. She fears Lowly Sr.'s possible parole which would steal her thunder. She also decides to keep some information that Vaani wants passed along to Tommy to keep the spotlight on herself. And Pamela continues to try to reconnect with the Rosses, her desertion of...

It's the day of the bout. Lowly Sr. will do anything to get out of prison to watch his son in this comeback. Sylvia is getting ready for her big moment in the spotlight. Each of Tommy's parents may get sidetracked from their original mission. Both Tommy and Rico too may have things on their mind which may take their focus away from the bout, Tommy's which does include Tucker's directive for him to throw the bout in the fifth round, or else face the consequences. Lowly Jr. knowing about Tommy's "plan" to throw the bout may factor into what happens. Rico may have some ...
