What unfolds inside this urban literary jewel is a tale of a young boy, Carlo, who loses his father right before his eyes due to an act of brutal revenge. Thereafter, Carlo grows up with no remorse in his heart.

At the age of thirteen, he carries out a vengeful act that lands him a term of juvenile-life behind bars. After being released from custody, Carlo claims a ruthless lifestyle in his fight for position. With the help of Waxey, a childhood friend, and Carlo's cousin, June, who has a detrimental weakness, Carlo rises above the law.

Carlo digs deep into his father's past, finding some disturbing news that adds pieces to his father's puzzling murder. The great betrayal comes when Carlo least expects it, and from a person he would've never thought would betray him. That betrayal causes Carlo to make a forbidden decision that may change the course of his life and his position in the streets.
