Randy ‘the Ram’ Robinson used to be an icon in the wrestling ring but his glory days have faded into oblivion and he’s forced to earn a living brawling before handfuls of fans in community centres and school gyms. A heart attack makes him re-assess his life, prompting him to reconcile with his estranged daughter and find love with a local stripper. However, will he risk it all for one last fight?
