Eddie Owens, a small-town bodybuilder chasing a pro card, lives under the intense devotion of his religious mother Joanne, who manages his career through faith; unbeknownst to her, he quietly funds his training through late-night online sex work he keeps hidden. Struggling to win on the competitive circuit, Eddie turns to a new coach, Mike, and develops a secret romantic attachment. As these hidden worlds begin to collide, the pressure mounts. Torn between ambition, belief, and identity, Eddie searches for a path forward–one that allows him to live authentically while holding on to the relationships that matter most to him.
Director Sam McConnell is scheduled to attend.
