Marc Barnes is a down-on-his-luck accountant, who stumbles upon a job that is meant to turn his luck around. A rude and rich man confuses an accountant for a stock broker but Marc accepts the job anyway, learning everything he can about the trade. The job is a success, giving him the life he's wanted all along; unfortunately it is very short-lived. As it turns out, the man who hired him had stolen the money that Marc had been investing and is killed for his crime, leaving Marc in a terrible situation. His previous employer invested all of the money, without Marc's knowledge, so he is forced into working for the organized crime syndicate for no financial gain. With his life crashing down around him and the dangers of the mafia life merging with his, he must make changes to save what life he has left from the outside in before he is killed. Join Marc as he attempts to save himself from the criminals who own him.

"With his death I nearly met mine. Till revenge told me to behead the King." Cameron Martinez, an unnoticed girl who lives in Chicago which seems to be Gang Headquarters for the most dangerous gangsters in America. Her oldest brother, Leon, used to be one of them and died because of it, shot in an alley late at night, alone. Leon supported the Martinez family with his earnings from being a gang member while their mother bought dope. With Leon gone, Cameron and her six siblings have rough times financially. She can do one of three things. 1. Join Leon's old gang, the Chicago Kings. 2. Be a stripper like her mother 3. Become a thief Since the first two don't remotely please her, Cameron went with the third choice. But she doesn't steal petty things such as wallets, T.Vs or anything so cheap. She decides to take from those who took the most precious thing from her; the gangs that haunt the streets and terrorize Chicago's citizens. Cameron goes around emptying the pockets of gangsters, stealing the dirty money they don't deserve. Yes, she realizes how dangerous and dumb this is, but she won't let her family starve. People will eventually see Cameron Martinez as a vigilante heroine, but it was never she who did those kind acts. She can't understand how they could think remarkably high of her when she merely wants to put food on the table. * Robbing gangs isn't smart, at all. When the Chicago Kings hear of Cam's doings, they get worried and paranoid. If one insignificant little girl has the balls to steal from them, what will stop everyone else? When Angel Montez, CK enforcer and Leon's best friend gets the command to kill the Vigilante Heroine he has a clear order. One he fully intended to follow through with. What he didn't plan was being interested in her or that she's the younger sister of the dear friend he lost. Now Angel must pick his own destiny instead of following another.
