It starts with family.

Adopted brothers Jody and Ronnie go to extreme measures to save their gay dad’s family business by “wrestling” on the local circuit. Fighting for acceptance and unity they try to preserve the only stability they’ve ever known. As their third rate, wrestling promoter Benny tells them, “You’re the best losers I have. “ They set out to prove him wrong, not by going from wrestling “heels” to “heroes,” but by saving their family’s one of a kind BBQ restaurant that closed it’s doors after a family tragedy.
