Tony then arranges to upgrade and encrypt Rand's computer systems. Unfortunately, Bakuto and his men find out and gets Soraya to deliver another program using more explicit threats against her parents and Ward.

A [[{{Continuation}} sequel fic]] to season 1 of ''Series/IronFist2017''.
Since the events of season 1, Ward Meachum has been struggling with addiction and is on the path to self-destruction. Joy decides to stage an intervention to prevent Ward from destroying his life or interfering with Rand. Ward is stunned to find his sister has hired a rehabilitation specialist to get him clean, with the threat of losing Rand over his head should he refuse.
That specialist is Soraya Ebadi, who has numerous clients of varying wealth and social status, and finds her entire life turned upside down when she enters Ward's life, as she becomes embroiled in a world of powered people, ancient organizations, death threats, and violence.
