The short film is an adaptation of the first chapter of the comic, Swerve. It is a pro wrestling crime noir comic book created by the Eisner nominated team of Jon Judy and Dexter Wee. Here's the synopsis from the back of the graphic novel: San Antonio, 1976: Eric Layton, desperate for cash, left college behind to dive into the world of pro-wrestling. From there, it was an easy slide into the underbelly of the "rasslin'" biz, where the box office and concession stand make for an easy way to launder drug money. Eric wants out, but he has seen and done too much. When he is pinched by the police and forced to flip on his boys, he is stuck between the cops and the crooks - and the idea that he will escape with his life is looking less realistic than a pro-wrestling match, unless he can pull off one hell of a SWERVE.
