Episode Synopsis

Neil Coyne is Western Australia’s first Indigenous wrestler.  At 43, “N.C. Viper” has been in the ring for over seven years and is a huge favourite with fans and other wrestlers alike.  But the death of Neil’s mother eighteen months ago has re-triggered the trauma of his early childhood, sending him into a spiral of depression and apathy.  With a loving wife and six children dependent on him, Neil has now decided to make a comeback.  Can he pull himself back into the ring, and back into a meaningful life, or will he be defeated by his biggest opponent ever – his own emotions?
