Denver sat there, glaring at the man that smirked back, "Tell me who killed her."
The man only smirked more, each word that he spoke, every movement of his mouth, only made Djroids grow madder and madder.
"No can do amigo," he sat into an old chair, "Mmm, comfy. Us boys, we stick together, we don't go runnin' around selling each other out. What you think a Mafia is?"
"Al, I swear to God and the Angels above, if you don't give me a name..."
"As I said," He began, the Cajun accent lowering to a threatening tone, "No can do."
"There's a special place in hell for you."
"Same with you, no man that lets their family die gets into heaven, not for free."
And that was it, the very moment, the very second that he came undone. Everything blurred, everything disappeared, nothing stood between him and finding his family's killer. Nothing would stop him.
"You're gonna die tonight."
A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect.

Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
