SYNOPSIS

Professional wrestler, Ian Hodgkinson, aka Vampiro, is a fighter and a survivor. After battling an abusive childhood, street violence, crippling fame, cancer and a lifetime of beatings and broken bones in the squared circle, he now faces his biggest, most ominous challenge yet: his teenage daughter. Serving as the Director of Talent for both Mexico’s Lucha Libre AAA and MGM/El Rey's Lucha Underground, he’s forced to split his time and dedication between the muscle-bound family he’s always known and the alien world of single parenthood. While his paternal duties tug at him from one side, his desire to return to the ring tugs him from the other. Which one will break him first?. The film had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2019 and has since played at the following festivals: Festival du Nouveau, Glasgow Film Festival, Morbido Film Festival, Whistler Film Festival, Calgary Underground, Cinequest Film Festival, Cleveland Int'l Film Festivals, Mile High Horror Film Festival.
