La Yuma, Alma Blanco, grows up in a poor Nicaraguan barrio where boxing feels like a lifeline and a path to a brighter future.

She longs to spend her days training in the ring, but her mother makes her work at a second-hand clothing store under manager Scarlett, María Esther López.

Her friend Yader, Eliézer Traña, who used to be in a gang but now runs a gym, tells her he has arranged for her to train at an official boxing gym, giving her a chance to participate in real matches and to earn a reputation.

One day at the shop, Yuma witnesses her brother stealing a backpack from a boy her age, Ernesto, and she retrieves it. Ernesto, Gabriel Benavides, invites her to a bar, and the two begin dating. They talk about the future, and Ernesto watches Yuma practice. But Ernesto is beaten up by Yuma’s brother and ex-boyfriend, and accuses her of manipulating him into thinking she is good. He breaks up with her.

La Yuma enters her first boxing match and wins, with Scarlett, Yader, and la Cubana, Juan Carlos García, a transgender woman, cheering her on.

When she gets home, she finds her mother’s boyfriend abusing her younger sister, so she moves out with her two younger siblings to la Cubana’s house. Scarlett and Yader help by donating clothing and money, and Yader helps land a gig for Yuma at a circus that is looking for a boxing act.

With renewed purpose, Yuma decides to leave the barrio with her two younger siblings to work at the circus, finally escaping the place she has longed to leave.
