Lauden Swayne is the best wrestler in his weight class on his high school team but his dream is to beat the champion two weight classes below him. He begins an intensive vision quest to attain that goal. His mission is interrupted by the arrival of a beautiful stranger (Fiorentino). When her car breaks down in Lauden’s town he invites her to stay with him at his father’s house. (Madonna’s brief appearance in a scene at a tavern have made this a cult favorite from the 80’s).
