Perfect Addiction
MMA trainer Sienna Lane (Kiana Madeira) thought she had finally got her life together: A lovely apartment, her dream job, and Jax (Matthew Noszka), the love of her life.

Everything felt perfect… until it wasn’t when she caught Jax cheating on her with her younger sister. Facing the ultimate betrayal from those closest to her, Sienna sets out for revenge and intends to hit Jax where it hurts the most – in the ring. The perfect opportunity presents itself in the form of underdog Kayden Williams (Ross Butler). Kayden is moody, resentful, and undisciplined but, without a doubt, a great fighter. Kayden and Sienna soon realise that to achieve their goals, they must work together to bring down Jax in the ring. But when Sienna and Kayden get closer outside the ring, the path to the champion’s title gets a little more complicated.
