The movie revolves around the top contenders of that year and their journey throughout the season. However, Phil Heath won his first glory of seven consecutive titles in 2011.

The rivalry between Heath and Kai Greene was the utmost topic of discussion back then. Where Greene was determined to defeat Heath. For the next three seasons, he came second after securing the third position in 2011. On the other hand, The Gift was preparing to perform better.
