Aliyah is a cage fighter. Subverting the stereotyped idea of a Mixed Martial Artist, she works as a software engineer in London. Her life in a male dominated environment is fraught with challenges caused by her race and gender and aggravated by her childhood trauma and consequent aloofness. This is embodied in the character Jeremy, a co-worker who relentlessly taunts and bullies Aliyah. The story begins one month prior to her debut cage fight. Aliyah works hard to balance her demanding job and training regime. At the night of the fight, the three-round tournament sees Aliyah suffering multiple head-concussions, resulting in an accident. The second part, 'Fighter', portrays Aliyah's struggle with the symptoms of her brain injury and complications of her diagnosis. Following hospital discharge, her brain function declines, jeopardising her work and comfortable urban life. Ultimately, the injury leads to a violent episode and she loses everything important to her. The story examines prejudices about mental disorders and challenges the way invisible illness is often dismissed as merely psychosomatic.

Though when he learns his father may be released from prison, his world starts to spiral out of control. With an overworked, detached mother and a pair of ignorant, overbearing older brothers, his best friend, Leo, seems to be the only person in his corner. Leo Moon isn't without his own struggles. At eleven years old he suffered a major brain injury in a car accident. After years of therapy and treatment he'd gotten back to living a normal life or as normal as he was going to get, with a couple deficits here and there. The most debilitating being his lack of emotional regulation and depression. Things could get very dark for Leo very quickly, but lucky for him he always had Jace to light the way out his dark tunnel. Leo had plenty of people in his corner, supportive parents, a beloved little sister, and a menace of an older brother, but no one understood him the way Jace could. The two best friends were just that, best friends. (Although other people always thought them more.) In their eyes nothing could change that, especially since neither of them worked too well with change. But things get a little blurry when shit starts to hit the fan. With Jace's dad possibly being released from prison and Leo's inability to keep his emotions from getting the best of him, will the pair survive their turbulent freshman year? And if so, as friends or something more?
