"Never let them in sweetheart, never."
"Mother, what is the matter?"
"Nothing honey, I just let someone in when when I should have drawn my sword."
"No! Mother!"
"Sweetheart, remember, do not seek for the knight, but for the sword. I love you."
"M-mother," Khione sobbed while holding her now dead mother in her arms. Her role model and her only family had now passed away.
"Your highness, we have brought seven princes who have lent their hand in marriage."
"How many times do I need to repeat myself for you to understand, Councilor Soobin; I will rule alone, by myself."

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?
