The documentary is designed to showcase the Axemen and the progress of the sport of Rugby League in the USA as the team attempts to win another National Championship in the USA Rugby League Competition. As well as the Axemen players and team, they will also follow the Axe Maiden Cheerleaders, training camp, home and away games as well as the behind the scenes look at how the team operates to find ways to grow a relatively unknown sport in what is one of the most competitive sporting markets in the world.
