4.06 - Origins: Val - Cross’s Gym

Five years after leaving her father in a trap, Valerie Miller made her way north and eventually landed in Calgary, desperately hungry and alone in a brutally cold winter. Rufus Cross found her fighting on the street, gave her a meal, and invited her to his gym to box. Valerie nearly didn’t survive the journey there, but she was rescued by two gym rats, and when she saw a pendant of St. Raphael around Cross’s neck, she decided to join them. How will Valerie adapt to a way of life where fighting now has rules?
