The Sunspot is a small bar straddling the territories for two of the most powerful gangs in the state: the Lans and the Wen's. The bar serves as a neutral zone. A spot of warmth in the cold and violent world of organized crime. After a life time of failures, Jiang Cheng found a temporary reprieve at The Sunspot. He gave up his music ambitions years ago after the death of his family. Trying to keep his brother out of the politics of the gangs is a full time job. He will do anything to keep them safe--including sacrificing himself. Wei Wuxian was born a music prodigy. When faced with the prospect of losing his brother or continuing his dreams, he chose a life of dancing at The Sunspot. Lan Xichen runs the Gusu Lan's with a lethal efficiency. He thought he was prepared for anything--he just never expected a set of guitar strings and a grumpy bar tender to prove to him how wrong he wasLan Wangji is good at his job. The scariest thing about him isn't the custom brass knuckles he wears, but his calculating cruelty. That is, until he sees a grey eyed dancer that makes him want to be a softer person.
