Introduction: Welcome to Paradise Falls, New York: the seemingly sweet and wealthy suburb tucked away upstate.  A place where the twenty-something  circle of elites run everything.  From the businesses to the social life to the underhanded dealings of gamblers, these kids have their hands in everything and their hands on everyone.  Mess with one of them, and you're sunk.  Make your way into their circle, and you're set.  Fall for one of them, and you're crushed.  But that's alright -- they're rich.  They can do what they want.

Welcome to Paradise Falls.  Enjoy your stay.

Characters:  As you can see, I only have a handful of characters.  More would be nice ;)  Review with character information, mkay?  Name, age and why they fit in with a soap opera setting.

Author's Note: Just to make sure you understand, this is going to be a parody.  Once you read the first few chapters, you are going to think this is a drama.  Please understand that it's a soap opera fic.  Therefore, it seems like a drama – but the point of this story is that I'm poking fun at real soap operas.  There will be extreme situations in this story very similar to something you'd expect from General Hospital or The Bold & The Beautiful.  OK?  Also, I plan on changing this story from a PG-13 rating to a R rating at some point, so if you like it, make sure to add it to your favorites.  Thanks.
