Have you ever been so lost, than being found wasn't an option to you anymore? Have you ever been so out of place that you thought that's where you belonged? Well, for Starr Moore, that's exactly how she felt. She'd been left at the doorstep of an orphanage at only a day old. She'd grown up unlike any other orphan had, secluded, detached, cold-hearted, filled with pain instead of joy, and the one thing that made her as angry as she is now was the fact that nobody ever adopted her. All the other kids left her. Her caretaker, Amy, was the only one who loved her for her.
Now, as a 20 year old, Starr has gotten used to how she's felt, and she has a steady job. When she gets texted by the secluded owner of the company she works for she wonders who he is. Her curiosity gets the better of her, leaving her to wander into his trap. She's forced to stay with her captor until her captor can tell her why she was left at that doorstep that cold October night, and just who she really is...
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?
