There are the Players. Then there are the Others. And then there are the Gamers. No one plays by the rules. They all live to die fighting. These are hard times, and these are hard fighters. The winners walk away, the losers never rise again. This is now. Nyree Black has not lived a nice life. It has been filled with gangs and fights and guns and now, war. A war that has been brewing since before her birth. A war that stretched back as far as the night her parents died. A war that has something to do with Nyree. But she doesn't quite know what. And when Calix shows up on her doorstep, he is given an unwilling glimpse into this life. Nyree doesn't want to trust him, doesn't want to love him. But you can't always help these things, and a fear of death and a brutal gang war serves only to bring them closer. But closer to what?
