Jacob "Ghost" Bishop. Going into his last year of high school. It should be pretty fun. I mean, think about it. He has a nice car, friends, a nice house, and money. Though, unlike most people his age, he isn't super spoiled.
Minus the occasional smoking, and his mostly very sarcastic tone and attitude, he seems normal. Minus the fact that he used to fight for fun... And after his parents left when he was 15, he's been alone ever since
Hopefully, though, his last year of high school goes by quickly without hardly any problems. Which it should... Right... Probably not.

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?
