Heels
Family will face off.
Created by Michael Waldron
On STARZ
A character-driven drama about two brothers locked in both professional and personal conflict over a family wrestling business, where the line between performance and reality becomes dangerously blurred.
In a close-knit Georgia community, a family-owned wrestling promotion finds two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to (and just as hard to leave behind).
