Scav has no idea what is happening outside of the Norvinsk Special Economic Zone. Nor does he care. Every day he fights to survive with whatever he can alongside his friend and fellow scavenger Aleksandr. But neither know of just what exactly they've gotten themselves into when they meet with a squad of BEAR PMC's, who offer cash in exchange for one thing: a guide to TerraGroup's labs far away up in the mountains. With no choice, Scav must decide, is the prospect of enough money to repay his debts enough to endanger himself and his friend?

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?
