Ava Beckinsale is living her dream. She’s the new World Champion and determined to defend and honour the belt she worked so hard to win.
As soon as she thinks she has a handle on her reign, out of the shadows comes Tanika Taniela. An undefeated fighter held down for years, hidden away with a secret she was told to keep buried.
But Tanika is done hiding, and she’s craving a chance to claim Ava’s belt.
When the unknown fighter unleashes her rage, revealing her secret to the world on international TV, the fighting world erupts, battle lines are drawn, and Ava is dragged into the last place she wants to be, once more a pawn in the MMA machine.
Now, the new champion’s emotions and principles are getting in her way, but allies emerge from the unlikeliest places, and Ava has to return to a lesson she thought she’d already learned: sometimes your greatest opponent is yourself.
