Lina owns a small clinic in a small, rough town. Everyone in town knows her, mainly because her clinic is the equivalent to a hospital only it is much cheaper and more welcoming. Her town is unwelcoming, with the Russian Mafia, Swedish Biker Club, and Japanese Gang; no one is safe on the streets. The three groups are enemies, blood is shed on a daily basis and the only time everyone is on good terms is when they attend the Gladiators, or, in laymen's terms, the illegal fights that take place in the underground Coliseum. Although haunted by her past, Lina stays positive through all she sees. Can she continue to hold up her facade around the big, buff Swedish Biker and Gladiator, Donovan Ander?
