After losing his mother at the tender age of eight, Elias' emotional escape has been the sport of wrestling, which has worked well – that is, until he loses the high school state final for the fourth year in a row. Struggling to figure out why he cracks under pressure and overwhelmed by coming so close to something only to barely miss it, leads him to suicidal events. With the help of a careless and not so loyal girlfriend, an aimless trouble-minded best friend and love of a brother, Elias discovers what's been holding him back.
