Burning Point

When Emery Sloan transfers to West Valley High, she's ready for another forgettable semester: keep her head down, avoid drama, and maybe pass algebra this time. But her plans unravel the moment she crosses paths with Cobra Kai-more specifically, with Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz, the unpredictable mohawk-wearing martial artist who pulls her into a world of kicks, egos, and dojo rivalries.

At first, Hawk is charming in a loud, mildly unhinged way. Emery, always quick with a sarcastic comeback and a soft spot for outcasts, gives him a chance. But as Cobra Kai's teachings begin to warp him, Emery finds herself caught in a storm of loyalty, identity, and her own unraveling relationship.

Then there's Tory Nichols-fierce, guarded, unapologetically angry. Their friendship starts as a slow burn, filled with late-night talks, bruised knuckles, and shared truths. But somewhere between sparring sessions and sideways glances, Emery realizes the person who sees her most clearly may be the one she never expected.

In a school torn apart by karate wars and teenage grudges, Emery must decide what kind of fighter she wants to be-and who she wants fighting by her side.
