He’s quiet outside the ring—but in love, he’s ready to go all in.

Nelson “Savvy” McCallister lives two lives: one as a shy, small-town guy trying to keep his head down, and another as Savvy, a charismatic wrestler who lights up the ring. When the gym that built his confidence faces closure, Nelson’s determined to save it—even if it means going toe-to-toe with developers.

Enter Drew Evans, a sharp, big-city sports journalist reluctantly sent to cover the wrestling circuit. Drew thinks it’s all lowbrow spectacle, but the more time he spends with Savvy, the chemistry between them becomes undeniable. Soon he starts seeing wresting, and his own life, in a completely new light.
