Lift up the world!
Lee Ji-Bong is a former Olympics bronze medalist for weight-lifting, but a career-ending injury from the games forces him into early retirement. Unable to find another vocation, he becomes destitute.

There, he forms a weight-lifting team comprised of a rag-tag group of outcasts.
