Kaden Thompson is 17, smart as hell, and counting the days until he can get out of Compton and leave the struggles behind. But life keeps pulling him back in. His mom's sick, the bills are piling up, and his older brother Darius can't stay out of trouble long enough to help out. Darius, a street-smart hustler with no real plan, finds himself in over his head with dangerous people. Desperate and running out of time, he drags Kaden into his mess, convincing him it's all for their mom's medical bills. But as the brothers dive deeper into a series of high-stakes heists, Kaden starts questioning if they'll survive the risks they're taking or if his brother's lies will be the end of them both. In a world where loyalty is tested, and survival means bending the rules, Kaden's forced to choose between doing what's right and doing what's necessary. Fast-paced and gritty, Dead Man Heist is a thrilling tale about family, survival, and how far two brothers are willing to go to save the person they love most.
