Description: After a fight at school leaves him expelled, Jorge starts training to become a pro wrestler, and finds that he has the talent to make it a promising career. At the first wrestling show Jorge attends, he meets Thom, who is from a politically active upper middle-class family -- and opposites attract. Sparks fly between Jorge and Thom and before he knows it, Jorge has his first boyfriend. But when he adopts a flamboyantly gay "bad guy" wrestling persona, Thom calls him out for promoting homophobia. Jorge reacts violently, as he feels he's losing everything that means anything to him. Can he find a way to be true to himself -- as a wrestler, as a gay guy and as Thom's boyfriend?
