Mike Tyson’s ferocious power in the ring was matched only by his appetite for self-destruction out if it. Still coming to terms with his past and looking forward to the future, Mike is returning to his hometown of New York City and turning to the only thing in his life he’s always cared about – pigeons.

Now Mike is immersing himself in competition once more to create a team with his close friends. But this time it’s pigeon racing, taking on the best that New York has to offer and going on an extraordinary personal journey as he competes once again. In revealing scenes, Mike revisits the key places of his youth, from the Brooklyn streets to a detention centre as he tries to find peace with himself.

The series is full of rich and engaging characters and has plenty of incidents and drama. Mike takes us into his secret world - on the rooftops of New York - with the friends he has known for many years.
