這部電影是個現代馬克•吐溫式的冒險故事,敘述了22歲患有唐氏症的年輕人札克逃離照護院區,進入職業摔跤學校,追逐自己成為職業摔跤手的夢想。 在特別情況下,32歲犯法在逃的泰勒成為了札克意外的教練和盟友。他們一起繞過三角洲,逃避警方追捕。逃亡中他們一起喝威士忌,尋找上帝,捉魚充饑。路上他們遇上艾莉諾這個喜歡講述自己故事的善良安養院員工,一同加入他們的築夢旅程。三個成員也因此「再接再勵」迎向新的未來。
配樂製作以四位對於獨立音樂與美國南方音樂特別嫻熟的Zachary Dawes、Noam Pikelny、Jonathan Sadoff與Gabe Witcher,合作配樂演出。班鳩琴、吉他與小提琴的演奏在電影中分別出現許多氣氛與角色的融入。再配合「Uncloudy Day」、「The Stable Song」與「Running For So Long」等八首靈魂、藍調與鄉村歌曲演唱,建構出整個配樂的多元呈現。
