The Ditches

Banished to planet Arrah. Scarred. And mentally unstable. Ramet needs help, but at the moment she's self-medicating on copious amounts of booze. It's fine though, she has a job, that's she's actually good at, fighting at The Ditches. And she makes enough money to continue to drink enough to forget about her past.

But one night out drinking changes everything. Ramet meets Hara, beautiful, seductive and enticing, and from there things get complicated. Through Hara, Ramet is dragged into a crime syndicate and her new boss Whyan is a mean bastard. Still, Ramet rolls with the punches and tries to make the best of a bad situation, and a move on Hara, whilst drunk, of course.

However, when Ramet realises Hara's life is in danger she begins to wonder if going with the flow is worth it. Plans aren't Ramet's forte and when things backfire on her final job for Whyan, she has to act fast, trust a government official to do the right thing, and try and stay alive in the process.

One last fight. One last drink. And then happily ever after is within Ramet's grasp. It's just ... forever is a long time.
