Heels - Starz FYC

“Heels” follows the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of independent professional wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals, Jack Spade and Ace Spade, war over their late father’s legacy. Heralded as “gripping and poignant,” (The Hollywood Reporter) “Heels” stars Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig in “dynamic,” “nuanced” and “standout” performances (Decider) and has been celebrated as a “heartfelt love letter to pro wrestling” (The AV Club).
