Maximillian acts like any other eleven-year-old aficionado of lucha libre. He worships all the players. But in the summer just before sixth grade, he tumbles over the railing at a match in San Antonio and makes a connection to the world of Mexican wrestling, Lucha libre, that will ultimately connect him—maybe by blood!—to the greatest hero of all time: the Guardian Angel.
