WRESTLING WITH THE PAST

WRESTLING WITH THE PAST
By Justin Godlien

GENRE: Sports, Drama
LOGLINE:

Desperate for answers after the death of his estranged pro-wrestler father, Finn Wilde must step into the ring to reveal his fathers past - and his own destiny.

SYNOPSIS:

FINN WILDE never really knew his father. Of course he’d heard the tales of FLYNT WILDE, and seen glimpses of him on TV and in the newspapers - until his over-protective mother, DEANNE, found out.

But when the pro-wrestling legend suddenly dies, Finn is left with more questions than answers. Stonewalled by his mother, FINN begins his quest for pieces of the puzzle.

FINN then discovers a remnant from the past… His father’s former tag partner, FRANKIE ROSE, one half of the legendary Wilde Roses. Named for both wrestlers and Alberta’s official flower, the Wild Rose. But the owner of Calgary’s own Wilde Rose Wrestling (WRW) promotion isn’t in the business of giving answers for free, and not to the son of the man who betrayed him and left him behind.

The only way for FINN to find the answers he desperately seeks is to look to the one place his mother always protected him from - the ring.
