How did the world think that when the world relied on power and technology to survive its brutal wars, that it'd survive the Flash? Nuclear fire rained on the world, decimating it, and almost all tech and civilization are gone. The world is dying. Entire continents are glass, burned from almost a thousand nuclear devices. Lakes, and some oceans now do not exist. Mutants wonder the underground caverns, sewers, and ancient bunkers. Above, the bandits, and squabbling remnants of armies and factions wage wars, killing thousands of innocent people in their wake. Most of our weapons are slowly fading, plasma and laser weapons losing power over time, or running out of spare power cells. Some scientists and factions manage to supply themselves with the cells, where many fail. We've reverted to bullets, projectiles, any weapon usable. We try to survive on a dying world. But rumors speak of fortresses where pre-war tech still runs, where humanity can be restored with help of the Dwellers.

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?
