After a period of service thats cut short by an IED explosion the lingering physical and mental effects of war result in an isolated struggle to exist in the civilian world. He throws himself into competitive MMA fighting  the one thing hes still able to excel at even if every match is a risk he cant afford to take.His first encounter with amateur female fighter Ally Rivera ignites a spark of desire he hasnt felt since before a bomb left its marks on his life and his body but his flirtation with her turns out to be anything but harmless. Shes struggling to hold together a family ravaged by violence  a feat that isnt easy when her father has been imprisoned leaving her vulnerable to relatives who run a local gang. Can two unrelenting fighters overcome challenges they couldnt defeat alone or do the wounds of war and crime run too deep for even love to heal?
