Plucked from his beloved Italian country-side, severed from his
family, and placed on an ocean liner in the bay of Naples, Antonio
Russo, just ten years old, embarks on the journey of his life. As
he steps foot onto New York soil with not a word of English, his
pockets stuffed with salami and provolone cheese and wearing a pair
of shoes for the occasion, Antonio recalls the promise from his
mother that in America he would find family members to take care of
him and the trees blossoming with gold. This young Italian boy
finds himself hit hard with a large dose of reality, obstacles at
every turn. These obstacles would become the demons with which
Antonio finds himself doing constant battle, but as fate would have
it, he one day comes to realize that he is good at something. He
finds by chance that he has a natural instinct and ability in the
sport of wrestling. As his story unfolds, it would be the sport of
wrestling that ignites a passion and guides him to the realization
of his true potential, giving meaning to the struggle he and his
family would endure in their journey from Southern Italy to the
United States to create a better way of life.
