Blood is thicker than water— a phrase many have heard and implemented in their everyday lives. For the Knighton brothers, it was more than just a phrase. For them it was their motto, their creed. It meant that nobody, friend or love interest, was above the familial bonds. By blood they were bound together and an outsider would be laid to rest before they could even attempt to break up the ties that held the family together. When a series of unfortunate events occur, they find themselves questioning the very words they hold so dear—Is blood really thicker than water?Kendrick Knighton, the oldest brother, finds himself thrust into the world of shady drug dealers and conniving businessmen, after the patriarch of the family goes on the run deep into the countryside of Jamaica. Being the oldest, he'd been groomed to take his fathers place for many years, but he was beginning to wonder if he'd bitten off more than he could chew when he made his father the promise that he could handle it. On top of that, he was harboring a few secrets that could surely ruin his name.
Kydric Knighton, the cunning and smooth talking middle child, had always been more focused on pretty faces and thick thighs rather than taking over his father's work. He rarely thought with the head between his shoulders, but when he did he was a force to be reckoned with. Ky was a hot head and he was always on go. Will he ever be able to step up in the the family or will his unpredictable temper and unwavering desire for control lead to his downfall?
At only seventeen years old, Kareem "KD" Knighton became one of the highest ranked football players in the country. He was getting recruited by many of the big name Ivy League schools all over the U.S. and by the time he hit twenty, he was undoubtedly going to be a millionaire. Everyone in Memphis knew he was going to go Pro one day and everyone wanted to sink their hooks into the young prodigy as he was on his way up. However, deep down in his heart Kareem always wanted to be like his older brothers. People feared and respected them and he desperately wanted a piece of the life that his brother, Kendrick, had tried so hard to shield him from.
In the midst of a brutal street war with former ally turned enemy, the brothers find themselves at odds with one another and questioning the loyalty that kept them so close together.
