Territories begins when the lure of professional wrestling draws a teenage girl away from her father. She stages a match in the fenced-in confines-the steel cage-of a local tennis court. From there, a journey reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels unfolds as she voyages to different territories across North America to learn her craft, fall in love, and discover a unique combination of conflict and camaraderie within the eccentric subculture she's chosen to build her life around.
