You are a student at the prestigious Hardwick University who needs extra money. Looking for part-time work, you take a job as a ring card girl at the Meat Locker, an underground fighting venue connected to the illegal Red Line circuit.

The job seems simple enough: dress for the event, step into the ring between rounds, hold up the round card, and try not to get involved with anything happening around them.

On your very first shift, one of the fighters catches their attention.

VICE.

Behind the blood, gloves, and underground alias is Cassian Vale a fellow Hardwick student.

Cassian recognizes you too.
