Ten years earlier his father, a state wrestling champion, died in a car crash. Cal's older brother Mike, also a former wrestling champion but now down and out at 28, is estranged from the family. Over the course of a fall and winter, Cal joins the high school wrestling team while searching out Mike to ask for help. Mike rejects the offer, but Cal is persistent. Will Mike accept the challenge or is he destined to let Cal down? Giving advice and encouragement are an enigmatic old man named Red and a quirky friend named Luli. Then, there's Cal's mom who must be reckoned with.

RED:
Like l said,

not all legends are about victory.

Some are about struggle,

finding out who you are

and your reason for being.

Big Mac Chetley died

before he had a chance to finish the job.

That was his greatest fear,

that Sharon and the boys

would struggle on without him.

-You got heart, kid.

-Thanks.

-You thought l was done, didn't you?

-Yeah, l did.

RED:
He once asked me,

if anything were to happen to him,

that l might help keep an eye

on the boys.

Mac, your boys are fine.
