Konoha City, a city filled with Gangs and Mafias who are more possessive about their territories than their own family members. Among these gangs, there are 3 gangs lead by high schoolers who everybody fears. Collectively these 3 leaders are referred to as 'Jaakuna Toraiado' - The Devious Triad. Newcomers and tourists are cautioned... heck they are forbidden to enter any territory that might belong to one of the Jaakuna Toraiado.
(But I mean... in every web show the main character is warned not to do something and they end up doing that for the sake of the plot. So who am I not to use the same strategy? Ahem Ahem)
Hinata Hyuga, a sarcastic, quirky, kind, good-looking, sometimes-forgetful girl has just moved to Konoha and has already devised a plan - live a simple, out-of-the-spotlight life for the next three years of high school and graduate with just above the average marks to get into a good university. Such a sweet, innocent, simple, and accurate plan could never go wrong.

Right?
Of course, it couldn't. I mean as if Konoha is ruled by the Jaakuna Toraiado and as if Hinata's cousin isn't a part of it. And of course, it's not like when she meets the young leaders, she was sarcastic to them and exchanged insults with them. And of course, it's not like she realizes that she might be falling for one of the leaders.

*****
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?
