Abstract
RUTHLESS! is a gritty, sports psychological drama set in the world of elite gymnastics. It tells the story of an overly ambitious gymnast who, after being involved involved in the accidental death of her teammate, struggles to keep her secret from being unearthed and her sanity intact -- all while trying to actualize her Olympic dream. Like I, Tonya meets Black Swan with shades of Showgirls, it's a story about how unchecked passion begets destruction.
