Left to right:Jax, Sienna and Kayden
Sienna Lane is a young MMA trainer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While training Jax, an up and coming fighter, they begin dating. After coming home to find him cheating with her sister Beth, Sierra angrily breaks up with Jax on the spot. For revenge, she decides to train his arch rival Kayden in hopes he'll beat Jax. Sierra soon begins falling for Kayden while having lingering feelings for Jax.

Tropes:

  • Action Girl: Sienna is a skilled MMA fighter but she trains other people at first rather than having bouts herself. She still fights while training other fighters however, beating Kayden while doing so. Once she discusses this with Kayden, noting that there is a stigma against women fighting because beauty's seen as their only asset so getting busted up would diminish that. She also spars with another female fighter, Athena, while helping train her. Sienna beats Athena, who it turns out previously had beaten all of her opponents that year, proving Sienna's skills.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Sienna's loved ones sometimes call her "Si".
  • Bedroom Adultery Scene: Sienna comes home and finds her boyfriend having sex with her sister on the couch in the front room.
  • Berserk Button: Kayden gets infuriated and hits Jax after he says he'd killed his own mother (she died in a car accident going to pick him up).
  • Bondage Is Bad: It turns out that Jax pushed Sienna into bondage (specifically being tied up by him) when she really didn't want to, and later does the same with her sister Beth. Though she acknowledges some women do genuinely want this, it's made clear he manipulated them. No genuinely consensual bondage is portrayed.
  • Disappeared Dad: Though she isn't specific, Sienna's comment that her mentor Julian has been her only father figure indicates that her birth father wasn't involved with her life, or negligent at least.
  • Domestic Abuse: Sienna reveals Jax was psychologically abusive while they were together, eroding her self-esteem slowly and gaslighting her, while he also manipulated her into bondage that she didn't want. The same thing happens when he dates her sister.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: After a long period of difficulties and heartbreak, Sienna pursues fighting professionally as she seems to get back with Kayden as well.
  • Erotic Dream: Sienna has one of both Jax and Kayden having sex with her as she trains the latter while getting over the former.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: Sienna is particularly betrayed that her boyfriend had slept with her sister. It takes a long time for her to forgive them.
  • Hand-or-Object Underwear: Sienna covers her breasts with one arm as Kayden eats her out in the shower. This is clearly for the actress, as they're otherwise (non-explicitly) naked.
  • Love Confession: Sienna and Kayden admit they've fallen for each other around halfway into the film, although neither uses the specific word "love" while doing so.
  • Love Triangle: Sienna falls for Kayden while still having lingering feelings for her ex Jax. He wants her back, while he's seeing her sister Beth (having cheated on Sienna with her). Once she and Kayden do admit their feelings for each other, they get involved.
  • Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Sienna learns about her boyfriend Jax cheating via him having sex with her sister Beth on their couch when she walks in to see them doing this.
  • The Mentor: Julian, Sienna's boss, is her mentor in MMA training and fighting, along with a father figure for her. With his higher experience Julian encourages Sienna in training but also pursuing a fighting career of her own.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Jax and Kayden are handsome, muscular young men with several shirtless scenes.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Sienna spends a lot of the film wearing workout clothing that's pretty revealing. Additionally she has mutiple scenes in her underwear, including one before having sex with Kayden. They also have shower sex, though nothing explicit. She is a quite good-looking, athletic woman.
  • Parental Substitute: Sienna states her boss and mentor Julian has been the only father figure she's ever had.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: Sienna is a committed, skilled MMA fighter who enjoys the sport very much, mostly as a trainer at first though she's no slouch in the ring too. Athena, another female fighter, is undefeated until Sienna beats her.
  • Rejected Apology: Jax tries to apologize for cheating on Sienna, but she angrily rejects this.
  • Second-Act Breakup: Sienna and Kayden are temporarily driven apart after they've started dating in the second half of the film.
  • Shower of Love: While bathing, Sienna fantasizes about an intimate shower along with her ex Jax, and then Kayden as well. Later she really has sex with Kayden in the shower.
  • Teacher/Student Romance: Sienna began dating Jax while she'd been training him. After they broke up, she began training Kayden as she's very tempted by him as well. They at last admit their feelings for each other and become lovers. Her mentor Julian forbids this, and knows at once after they've become involved. They put their relationship on hiatus when he's discovered this to keep on training in his gym.
  • A Threesome Is Hot: Sienna fantasizes about having sex with both Jax and Kayden in the shower while she's bathing.
  • Wall Bang Her: Sienna is shown having sex with Jax up against a wall early on.
  • Workout Fanservice: Sienna is a good-looking woman who's often shown in revealing workout clothing while training other MMA fighters. The same goes for her ex-boyfriend Jax and later Kayden, her new roommate (later Love Interest), who are also MMA fighters (she trains both of them). Both are handsome, muscular young men frequently shown in shirtless scenes.
