Charlie was an average person, but some people get into trouble by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Charlie was one of them. He's taken to a place called Paradise City, a utopia where nothing could go wrong... but it all does when he's forced into a job as a protector of the city and has to somehow get along with his teammates. (I'll add more to this later, I don't feel like writing anymore)
(A Extra something.)
Have you ever wanted to get out? Just run. You don't know where and you don't know why, but you want to get away. Well, come to Paradise City! Introducing the Paradise District, Synthwave City is home to the shores of the deep mysterious ocean, with palm trees and warm sand. The best vacation stop for your family! There's definitely no crime here... haha. Right?
Next, the Neon District home to Neon City, it's almost like being a dream! Every building is covered with neon glowing signs, advertisements, and billboards flickering with dazzling holographic displays! And most definitely none of those advertisements are plagiarized...
Next in line is the Fashion District, also known as the shopping district. A bunch of large malls, stores, etc... Most celebrities of Paradise City live there. Nothing special really.
Fourth in line is the Manufacture District, (which should be last in line) nobody likes that place. No one.
Fifth in line is the Retro District, a very old-fashioned town that no one goes to (mostly abandoned). It's based on the 1960s-1980s!
NEXT!!! The Aqua District! It is home to Seawater City, a huge underwater city located in an air pocket in the ocean. It is known for its beauty and its creative and abstract architecture.
Lastly is the #$(@*$ District. Anyway.
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?
