When a boy says to a girl who is his best friend, It was always going to be you, what comes next? In the not-so-distant future, the world's wealthiest are as well-known and popular as actors and pop stars. Faustino Richard Bautista is the youngest of the American 7 - America's most prominent, well-loved and wealthiest family which includes seven sons. Naia Jade Tsefaye is the youngest of King Philip and Queen Odessa Tesfaye's daughters. Faustino and Naia are best friends, and the Bautista's and the Tsefaye's have grown together raising their families in tandem. They are two black dynasties born from faith, hope and deep roots in the ancestors who came before them. While America has no official monarchy, the Bautista's are considered American royalty...
After Faustino breaks up with his older, pop star girlfriend, he and Naia decide to take the attention away from his public mess by deciding to be seen together in public, posing as a couple. However, after an attempt on their lives, Faustino and Naia's daily existence will change in an instant! While enemies aren't new, determined murderers are, and Faustino and Naia's families are forced to unite and close ranks to protect their teens - the stakes won't just rise, they will change forever! Now forced to go on the run, Faustino and Naia's lifelong friendship, as well as their family loyalties, will be tested, and their journey will cause them to re-evaluate the very essence of what they both truly mean to one another.
As they traverse the American roads moving from place to place, the teens will fight not only for their sanity, but also for their destiny! In this action-packed, fast-moving, unique, science fiction tale about family, love and survival, travel with Faustino and Naia as they come of age in a world where fate may very well determine their future...
