Spurred by the memory of his parents, Gabriel is drawn to the secretive world of lucha libre, where wrestling, performance art, and big business collide. Under the conflicting mentorships of a famed exótico and an ambitious young luchador, Gabriel must choose between traditions that ground him and the lure of success that may compromise his independence.
