"Ty Roscoe and Luca Mitchell have moved beyond their rivalry in MMA, becoming more than just teammates. Now working together both in and out of the cage, they're focused on one common goal: making it to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
But their journey is about more than just achieving success in the octagon. As pressures and obstacles threaten to derail their path to the top, they also grapple with how to love and support each other through it all. As Ty returns to training after injury, and Luca continues to fight for his choices in life, they are no longer exerting dominance and control over one another. Instead, they learn to lean on each other's strengths and break free from the choke hold these pressures have on them.
They're stronger together than they ever were apart.
And no matter how tight the hold, they refuse to submit. Because the ultimate strength comes from facing life's challenges side by side.
Contains mature themes."
"Hatred often walks in disguise.
Rival MMA fighters Ty Roscoe and Luca Mitchell have been battling for the top spot in the rankings for years. Evenly matched in skill and constantly stripping each other of number one, the rivalry continues to grow and extend outside the cage. Knowing just how to push each other's buttons, a deep hatred shadows their shared goal of becoming the best fighters they can be. And when an opportunity comes knocking to train at an elite MMA gym, they each think they'll leave the other behind once and for all.
But when they end up at the same gym, under the same coach, the tension only rises. As they are forced to work as teammates, the battle for dominance is only amplified. They each have something the other needs, and the more time they spend training on the mats and in the boxing ring, they now realize they aren't fighting each other . . . they're fighting something else.
Their dynamic morphs, the tension evolves, and the hate drops its mask. They know everything there is to fight each other. But now, they have so much more to learn.
Submission was never in the cards.
But outside the cage, will the gloves finally drop?
Contains mature themes."
