An inconspicuous yet intense story of fragile masculinity develops in a rock-bound valley. Brandon comes to a quarry to see his friend Steve, a former wrestler turned labourer. When it seems impossible to persuade him to take up the sport again, they decide to have one last wrestling match against each other. However, what starts as a manly match will gradually unveil much more than simple violence.
