Heels, Season 1

In the world of professional wrestling, the good guys are “faces,” and the bad guys are “heels.” But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind. Jack Spade constantly finds himself having to decide what’s best for the Duffy Wrestling League, but what’s best for his league often comes at the expense of those he loves most. Whether it’s bank-breaking financial pressures, conniving owners of rival wrestling promotions, the constant risk of debilitating injury, or bad blood among its stable of wrestlers, the DWL is fighting on all fronts. Beaten bodies and broken dreams litter the world of professional wrestling but there’s nothing more brutal than the battles being fought behind the scenes. Every wrestler wants to hold the championship belt above their heads, but few can stomach the sacrifice that comes with the spotlight.
