Selah Session III

Seven Locks

A hometown wrestling hero who has never lost, a valet paid to learn his secret, and a hair-vs.-hair match that costs him everything.

Sam Lockhart was set apart before he was born. His mother promised he would never cut his hair or touch a drink. Now he is the biggest draw in Dallas wrestling, a hometown hero called The Lion who has never been pinned.

The Gaza Five, the heels who run the rival promotion, can't beat him in the ring. So they pay his valet, Delilah, to find out what can. She asks him three times. The fourth time, he tells her.

One rigged hair-vs.-hair match takes his strength, his sight and his name. But a man who has lost everything still has one prayer left, and one last night in the arena.
