There are four gangs in the city. The Rose is the strongest gang in the city. The members came together under the similar interest of protecting their own, they never fight for land. The Rose has a secret, a secret that has influenced the other gangs to stop fighting one another and alliance themselves against the Rose. The Lions, the Tigers, and the Bears made an alliance that they called The Plague Alliance. All the gangs agreed that the schools in the area are no one's land, neutral zones, or so the Rose thought. The Lions, who call themselves the leader of the alliance, decided that they're children do not have to follow that rule, and if they so pleased, they could fight whoever they wish.
How will these kids survive the world they live in? How will these kids survive their town's war? How will the pressure and secrets affect the children and the war?
