Lance is a 3-time Ohio state wrestling champion who wrestles 600-lb. bears for practice. Matt comes from a broken home and starves himself out of determination to become his school's first champion in 50 years. Pinned is the wild, true story of what these wrestlers will endure to become champions.—Anonymous

In the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood, Ohio there are two young men at two different high schools with the same goal: to be a state wrestling champion. Matt Curley attends the public school. His team hasn't had a state champion in 50 years. Though he has fewer resources and comes from a broken home, Matt trains relentlessly while enduring starvation to better his chances at earning his school a championship. Lance Palmer leads the private school team that's a national powerhouse. He grew up with a father who made him lift weights before opening his presents on Christmas. He's traveled the nation since he was 9 to find the best competition. At home he wrestles 600-lb. bears to hone his skills. Now facing his last year on the high school mat, Lance will face the best wrestlers in America to prepare for winning his 4th state title and defending his team's dynasty. Pinned is the wild, true-life David and Goliath story of two young men fighting for a dream in a world where pain is practiced and becoming a champion is worth any price.—Patrick Norman
