The Social Lion background

The Social Lion

A former army mechanic-turned-amateur boxer finds a new calling when he joins an elite country club team, surprising everyone with his exceptional polo skills and eventually becoming an unlikely champion.

A small-town mechanic, Marco Perkins, joins the country club's polo team due to his exceptional mallet skills learned in the army. As he socializes with the elite, his self-perception changes, and he decides to upgrade his social status. He breaks up with his girlfriend, Cynthia, and pursues debutante Gloria, who initially seems interested but ultimately uses Marco to prove that even polo-playing hired hands aren't worthy of her social circle.
