[LA: Corruption. War. Hate. The dark will rise and drown the sun, when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies, night will fall and the dark will rise. Demons run, but count the cost, the battle's won, but the child is lost. That was an ancient text that talks about me. My dad and mom, the signs of Virgin and Cancer, were responsible for the end of the Zodiac War. But there was a cost. Their son –– in witch case is …well, me ––needs to be sacrificed, putting the Gemini sign power inside him and letting the old carrier of that constellation gets his new form and kill the enemies. They thought that I wasn't going to survive, because I was really young and weak, and they throw me into a river, to my body goes to Tartarus and stay there for thousands of years. But I was being protected by something that stopped me from drowning and dieing, and besides, it took me to another way. It was like a strange force that involves me like lightnings. Some weeks later, I was founded by an old man, at the shore of the river. He look after me, gave me a home and food to eat. But what he doesn't know is that I was a sign, and be a sign means death wherever I am. I started to cry when the monsters broke into the house. Because I was little, my powers of Gemini constellation used to go outside my body really fast, and I burned the entire house with my laser vision, and killed my step father. I was four years old back then. I passed five months alone, walking in the street. After that, I passed out and don't remember anything.]
	[INTERVIEWER: So you just woke up and started to live in this life like nothing happened? How did you discover that you're the Gemini sign?]
	[LA: That's a long story. Actually, why am I even explaining all of this?]
	[NA: Just tell the story.]
	[LA: Why don't you do this, Nora?]
	[NA: Because I don't want to. So stop complaining and start to speak.]

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?
