Going Over (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989432523)

Aquil Jones is an aspiring pro wrestler in pursuit of a spot on the televised wrestling scene. When a talent scout for a major wrestling promotion decides to offer one trainee at his wrestling school a national contract, Aquil is his first choice. But his plans become contested territory when Garrett Chambers-an out-to-pasture wrestler looking to fulfill a childhood vow-catches the scout's eye.

What begins as a competitive rivalry soon spirals into a vicious game of one-upmanship. As the pair clashes in the ring and in real life, the line between scripted drama and reality becomes dangerously blurred.

Richly written and hauntingly honest, Going Over is an unforgettable novel of the amateur pro wrestling scene where unmoored futures and unresolved pasts inform a tumultuous present. It's a world of flawed young men who both believe a prized future lays just beyond their grasp-a world eerily reminiscent of society today.
