De 18-jarige Louden Swain is de beste worstelaar in zijn gewichtsklasse op school. Hij traint dag en nacht om gewicht te verliezen. Dan kan hij 2 klassen lager uitkomen en de huidige kampioen, Shoot, uitdagen. Carla is 21 en strandt door autopech in het stadje waar Louden woont. Ze ontmoeten elkaar en al vlug is Louden smoorverliefd. Zijn sportambities dalen onder invloed van zijn verliefdheid.
