In 2083,�chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to�find, water is�carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet,�for Anya Balanchine,�the
sixteen-year-old�daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss,�life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and�her dying
grandmother,�trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son,�and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend.�That is until her ex is accidently�poisoned by the chocolate�her family
manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.
