“REVERSAL” based on a true story

“Reversal" begins by developing the relationship between seven-year old Leo Leone and his father, the coach of his wrestling team. At such a young age, Leo learns how wrestling is a metaphor for everything in life Leo's father is looking to live vicariously through his son. 10 years later, Leo and his father are still tight but don't have a deep relationship outside of wrestling. His father loves him, and a college education is an absolute necessity. When you see Leo's nose bleed in the middle of a conversation, and later, him throwing up after dinner, then you know something is wrong.

Leo begins dating a girl named Shaw who doesn't fit the "cheerleader" mold that most athletes go after. With her help, Leo is able to realize that he has to make a choice between living his own life, or letting his father continue to live vicariously through him. "Reversal" is more than just the ins and outs of amateur wrestling. It's about the relationship between fathers and sons, husbands and wives; it's about taking control of your life; it's about sacrifice; and it's about accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself.
