When society collapses into riots, wars, and disarray, prisoners, including juveniles, are executed without question. In order to decide who gets to live and carry humanity into the future, the government creates the 'Second Chance Program', a rehabilitation process in which the government places several juvenile delinquents in a hall with one purpose.
They are to kill each other. The ones who snap and do the deed, are condemned, the ones who survive? They are selected to carry humanity into the future. The smartest, strongest, and most pure of soul.
Damien Sallinger, a juvenile with an unfair charge, is sentenced to this program. In the women's program, Elizabeth Rey faces the same fate. But by chance of luck, the two manage to communicate with one another and form an alliance. An eye for an eye.
Who will live? Who will die? And who will crack under the pressure?
Welcome, to Enigma Juvenile Hall, and welcome, to Killer Killer Academia.
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?
