Summary
Shane Hollander never expected to find meaning after a devastating injury ended his rise in the MMA world. Teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at his best friend's gym wasn't the future he imagined, but it's the only place he still feels useful.
Everything changes when Shane has to substitute for an advanced kid's class, where he meets Anya Rozanov, a sharp-witted five-year-old with no fear and too much energy. Her father, Ilya, watches every lesson with the intensity of someone who's lost more than he lets on.
Shane and Ilya are pulled together by Anya, but they slowly begin to understand the ways they're both hurting. Shane begins to wonder if he's allowed to want a life outside of the cage, and Ilya wonders if someone like him can build a future that isn't defined by survival.
