While the title of "Heels" might lead one to believe the series is about the fashion or shoe industries, it is actually about the world of professional wrestling. A "heel" in the square ring is a villain, whereas a "face" is a hero. Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig star as two brothers and rivals who play out scripted matches as they war over their late father's wrestling promotion and vie for national attention in small-town Georgia. A piece of trivia: longtime wrestling fan Amell broke his back while performing a stunt for the first episode.
