Many years ago, monsters called "Mimics" attacked Earth. For years humanity was challenged. The military could hardly hold them off when they attacked, thousands of lives lost, families left in despair. Until just a few years back, five young heroes appeared with what seemed to be powers and animal features. These heroes were called the Elementals. Mercury, the Sky Sentinel, with the element of wind. Mars, the "Hell" Sentinel, with the element of fire. Neptune, the Ocean Sentinel, with the element of water. Venus, the Nature Sentinel, with the element of earth. Jupiter, the "Cloud" Sentinel, with the element of lightning. These five heroes protected Earth for years, fighting the Mimics until one fateful day...
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?
