What begins as a scrappy passion project soon grows into something much bigger. As the club gains attention, fierce rivalries emerge, friendships are tested, and loyalties begin to shift.

Meanwhile, comedic chaos unfolds both inside and outside the ring, ensuring that the action is balanced with heartwarming moments.
