"Perseus Jackson! You are hereby banished from Camp Half Blood, for treason against the gods!" thunder rang out through the night as the now banished hero hung limp in chains. Unable to move, even to lift his head, would be punishable by Zeus's lightning bolt. So there he stayed, shamed for "Betraying" the gods, tortured and called guilty for several supposed crimes committed by his hand, claimed to be caught red handed in helping Gea fight in the war. Perseus was now looked down upon by everyone he used to be able to count on. Not even his father would stand up for him, nor his closest of friends. His honorable deeds now forgotten and stepped on, his loyalty spat on and torn apart, and lastly, his caring soul, ripped from his very being, all thanks to a very sly, evil, manipulative little piece of Schist known to be the son of Zeus.

*****
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?
