The lion rages within him.


Leo grew up between a rock and a hard place. His experiences as a child made him tough. As the oldest of the children, the drive to be the protector of the innocent and helpless permeates every part of his life. But so does the anger that no amount of boxing can ever exorcise.


As he waits for the monster who is his father to die, a chance encounter brings Elizabeth and her baby into his protective circle. But is Elizabeth as lost and innocent she seems to be? Or has her own experiences turned her into something else?


As he learns more, Leo wonders whether he can help Elizabeth or if he is messing around with something beyond his ability to manage. Warning - contains disturbing scenes of abuse]
