    Logline: In a world where luck is for losers, one boy learns that the only way to survive the game is to rig the deck. Synopsis: By day, Sam Xiong is a ghost-the invisible scholarship student at Northwood High, a favorite punching bag for Viper, the sadistic son of the city's most ruthless mob boss. Sam has no money, no muscle, and no future. He is a card waiting to be discarded. But Sam has a secret weapon: his Uncle Dante. Dante is a washed-up legend of the Las Vegas underground, a grifter who burned every bridge he ever crossed. Seeing Sam's desperation, Dante offers him a way out. He doesn't teach Sam how to throw a punch; he teaches him how to deal from the bottom of the deck. He teaches him the art of the con, the science of the tell, and the brutal mathematics of revenge. Under Dante's tutelage, Sam transforms. He stops being the victim and starts becoming the player. Along the way, he falls for Roxy, a fierce, street-smart girl with a dark past and a deadly aim, who shows him that the most dangerous gamble isn't on the table-it's in the heart. But when a high-stakes heist against Viper's father goes wrong, Sam is thrust into a world far darker than he imagined. From the neon-soaked backrooms of underground Vegas to the opulent, deadly VIP suites of Macau, Sam must adopt a new identity: Sebastian Ky, the phantom high-roller. Hunted by the FBI, targeted by the elusive Syndicate, and seduced by the thrill of the win, Sam realizes that his uncle's lessons came with a hidden price. To save his father and protect the woman he loves, Sam must pull off the greatest bluff in history against the "Grandmasters" of the criminal underworld. The cards are marked. The dice are loaded. And Sam Xiong is all in. Genre: Young Adult / Crime Thriller / Dark Romance Themes: Revenge, Heist, Underdog, Forbidden Love, Mind Games

    4 Years. 4 Years since my life went to hell. I'm Lexi, yes that Lexi. The same Lexi who's the daughter of a NASCAR Champion. The same Lexi who's the niece of a 2X NASCAR Champion. The same Lexi who soften NASCAR's most violated driver. The same Lexi who started a race car when I was only 11 months old. The same Lexi who won the heart of America just by an old Indianapolis interview that's from 2003. The same Lexi who's racing career literally started in Power Wheels Drag Racing. Yes you heard me. Power Wheels....Drag Racing. The same Lexi who got the nickname Honey Badger. The same Lexi who beat the Brothers at their home track in 2012...and I won the race. The same Lexi who dragged raced my father at Daytona for the win in K&N Pro Series in 2013. The same Lexi who won the GT class during the 2014 24HRS of Daytona at 14. The same Lexi that still has three Chili Bowl records that are still standing to this day. The same Lexi who stole her father's ride in 2018. The same Lexi who was the youngest driver in the sports history. 18 years old. The same Lexi that wreaked her father in 2018 Brickyard 400. I'm that Lexi.... Everyone tends to forget all the records I have broken through out my line, but that doesn't matter. Instead I am famous for two things: Stealing my father's ride in 2018. Wreaking my father in the 2018 Brickyard 400. And that's it... What else would I be remembered for? Winning the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series title with an open car team who originally left the sport back in '21? 
Yeah right.....NASCAR will never have a female driver that can compete in a male dominate sport. I might have been the closes, but that doesn't mean anything to anyone. I'm Lexi, and this is my story.

With the help of an eccentric group of allies-a sarcastic werewolf hybrid, a guarded Neko demon-witch, and a mysterious vampire with a love for human culture-Percy must navigate a school teetering on the edge of chaos. Together, they uncover the truth behind the school's deadly conflicts and face an anti-human conspiracy that threatens to ignite all-out war. As tensions rise and trust is tested, Percy must embrace his role as a bridge between two worlds or risk watching them crumble. But at Mystic High, survival comes at a cost, and even the smallest choices can lead to devastating consequences.

Found family. A chaotic duo who accidentally terrorize their professors. Welcome to Pine Hollow-better known as The Disaster Hollow.

    Ever since he was socked in the guts by a certain white-haired Nekoshou as a child, Ed Sakari has made a promise to become the strongest (OF THEM ALL!) in order to one day surpass his so-called rival. However, one tiny little thing stands in the way; he's a plain old human. In other words, a race mostly ignored by everybody else as weak. Possessing no Sacred Gear, no mystical ancestral weapon and unable to use even an inkling of magic, his goal might just be impossible... But no matter! As he himself often proclaims with boundless optimism and irritatingly loud volume: "Hard work beats even the lazy gods!" And so, follow the misadventures of Ed as he strives to be the strongest (OF THEM ALL!), makes friends, lovers and foes far above his weight class, saving the day as well as constantly bothering his rival about their one-sided rivalry.
