“Stability will save you from a tough life. Not wrestling.”
The words that have split Mātī into two since they were first spoken to him from his mother. He lives a double life. The life of a business-stock broker-estate guy who writes pay cheque thingys, and a Professional Wrestler, in his mind and in his eyes.
He encounters an event that merges the two lives with his past and his present. Will it dictate his future?
