Written by Tamara Asmar
Directed by Shannon Murphy

Aspiring trainer Amirah Al Amir deceives her boxing champion father, Sami Al Amir, in order to secure her female athlete Jess Connor a pro debut fight. Fearing for Jess's safety, Sami intervenes and stops the fight, despite Amirah's continued reassurance that she has it under control. In his haste, Sami hits an official, threatening his boxing licence and livelihood.

Note: Layla's parents' house was also used as a location for the comedy Street Smart.
