Back in the late 1980's, Randy "The Ram" Robinson was a champion professional wrestler. Now 20 years later, he ekes out a living stacking shelves in a supermarket and performing fights for handfuls of die hard wrestling fans in high school gyms around New Jersey. It soon becomes clear though, that amateur wrestling is not just a money making arrangement for the physically shattered ex-champ - the ring is the only place of comfort to him in a world he finds bewildering. Estranged from his teenage daughter and essentially alone in the world, Randy is a battered dreamer who lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. A setback forces Randy to reconnect with his daughter and strike up a blossoming romance with an ageing stripper. Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art.
