Pluck The Day

At 19, Lucas Lynch is a gangleader in Manhattan who knows nothing but the streets. He leads his gang with ruthless precision, surviving in a world where trust is luxury. But when his rival, Richard Ruiz, sets him up, Lucas is arrested and thrown into juvenile prison.

That's where he meets Alex Bianchi. A 17 year-old former model whose name is all over the news after a scandal ruins his career. Accused of murdering his manager, and with even darker rumors spreading, Alex has nowhere left to go.

Unlike Lucas, Alex has a bright cheerful personality, always sticking by Lucas's side like a glue that refuses to be shaken.

But when they're both released on the same day, Alex changes. He became distant, ignoring Lucas completely. Suspicious that Alex was sent by Richard to spy on him, Lucas starts following him-only to turn the tables.

"Let me join your gang." Alex's only request.

From that moment on, their lives became intertwined. As their bond deepens, Lucas wants more than just survival-he wants freedom.

But in a life ruled by violence, love and loyalty are weaknesses, and a test that will challenge them. And when their enemies realize Alex is Lucas's only weakness, everything they've built teeters on the edge of destruction.

To live and love is Carpe Diem.

From the streets of New York to a reckless escape in Los Angeles, they fought their ways to freedom. But can they really seize the day when their pasts keep plucking their means to live?
