Despite being the daughter of New York's most notorious crime boss, Anya Balanchine's life is fairly normal. That is, as normal as possible in a futuristic world where chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is scarce, and minors are allowed to consume alcohol like soda. Anya does her best to avoid Family dealings. When a poisoned supply of Balanchine's black market chocolate is leaked to the public and Anya's loser ex-boyfriend is the first to fall ill, she takes the rap. Anya's innocent and just wants to clear her name and shield her younger sister, ailing grandmother, and mentally disabled brother from Family drama. Not helping matters is Anya's growing attraction to Win, a forbidden boy whose father is on the opposite side of the law. As Anya investigates the poisoning, she begins to suspect an inside job. It turns out that she's right, and Anya must now decide whether to accept her rightful place within the Balanchine family.
