Now a provider for her family, Breanna struggles to keep all of the balls she's juggling in the air. There's her sweet baby brother Tyler, a new high school, and fighting. Breanna "The Lioness" Lewis is an amateur MMA fighter trying to go pro. If she can sign a contract with the UFC, Breanna believes that her family can go back to living a relatively normal life. Fighting gives her a purpose, a safe outlet for her frustrations, and Breanna is good at it. Breanna is about to realize that there are some things that you can't fight. Like the dark misunderstood boy Jaxon Parish, who dreams of starting a successful rock band or the nightmares that keep her awake at night. Will Breanna's dedication to her family's future cause her to lose her best friend? Will she pass up a shot at love to focus solely on fighting her way to the top? And will she loose the respect of those she cares about on the road to success? Is "The Lioness" really fighting, or is she running?
