Negative human emotions - regret, bitterness, shame - all of these things are the root cause of curses that infect the world and lurk in the shadows of everyday life. Oftentimes, these curses lead to death and tragedy. However, this is the cruel reality that is known to everyone that exists in the Jujutsu World.
Akahana Izaki, 26, is a beautiful young woman, intelligent, successful, but above everything, she is a Jujutsu Sorcerer and a teacher to the next generation of teenagers ready to tackle the grueling work that exists in the Jujutsu World. Having grown up with Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, as her Senpai and former upperclassman, she always looked up to him. In her teenage years, she vowed to follow in the strongest footsteps, in order to protect herself and those she cared about. Satoru Gojo seemed to be her answer. Over the years, they've developed a unique relationship. She claims to only admire him, but could it be more?
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?
