“Heels” is a unique blend of ferocious passion for wrestling and intricate family drama, set against the backdrop of a tight-knit community in Duffy, Georgia. The series centers around a family-owned wrestling promotion and the tumultuous relationship between two brothers and rivals, Jack Spade (Stephen Amell) and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig). Their relentless battle for their late father’s wrestling legacy unfolds on and off the ring, as they grapple with their identities and individual paths to success.

With their sights set on seizing this opportunity, Jack and his team are gearing up for a potential game-changing business deal with a new streaming service, which could catapult them to the national stage. However, the ghosts of the past and its tragedies threaten to unravel everything when Ace abruptly leaves Duffy and the Dome behind. Meanwhile, the ruthless leader of rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia, known as Gully, is on the warpath, seeking vengeance.
