Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a professional wrestler and former star of the 80s, is now a lonely and aging man struggling to find purpose in his life. Despite his declining health and physical condition, Randy continues to perform in independent wrestling matches on the weekends, all while working a mundane job at a supermarket and frequenting a local strip club. He becomes friends with Cassidy, an aging stripper who shares his passion for the spotlight, but their relationship is complicated by their mutual struggles with loneliness and despair. As Randy's health worsens and he faces the possibility of death, he must confront his legacy and decide what truly matters to him: his career or his relationships. Will he find redemption in the ring or will he succumb to his own mortality?
