As a huge fan of Gossip Girl in high school, I always loved the characters and the stories but i wanted more diversity. Aces of Spades takes this concept of Gossip Girl and makes it even better somehow, fulfilling my wishes and then some! Devon and Chiamaka are black students at a prestigious and predominately white high school. As they enter into their senior year of high school, an unknown person named Aces exposes their deepest secrets, and mysterious things begins happening to them. Devon and Chiamaka aren't friends, but they come together to get to the bottom of who is Aces and how to stop it.
