Francine was born to a rich banking family in Montalcera City, and life seemed to have fated her to be a successful and happy heir to the family business. But when her mother lost a large amount of money to an unexpected bank robbery, those happy dreams of the future were shattered, as Francine's father ran away with his daughter to the slums, in the hopes of saving her from her mother's rage and insanity, born from her greed and avarice. As her father passed from sickness soon after, Francine, now eight years old, must now fend for herself in these cruel back alleys and makeshift homes. Will she survive this harsh reality?
After she tragically loses her mother, Cassie turns to street fighting-but she soon learns that the biggest fights happen outside the ring.
