Synopsis: Drama series about the Santiagos, an East Los Angeles Latino family. The Santiagos are a proud family with a long legacy of professional boxers. Roberto is the patriarch who works in an auto repair shop run by Hector, while he trains his middle son, Carlos, a boxing contender. Roberto is aided by his oldest son, Miguel, a former boxer, while local promoter Paulie organizes the fights. Alex, the younger son, is a pre-med student at UCLA; sister Yolanda works in a law firm in Beverly Hills where she meets the newest associate, Peter Terrano; and Victoria, the youngest, is a high school student who hangs out with the wrong crowd. Roberto's brother, Ruben, is a brain-addled ex-boxer who doesn't speak. Roberto's sister-in-law, the enthusiastic Bibi, has kept the Santiago household in order since the death of Roberto's wife, Theresa.
