Malik "Vonn" Carter knows what the streets expect from him. They expect loyalty. They expect retaliation. They expect him to stay exactly who he used to be. But Malik has something they don't understand. A five-year-old son who believes his father is a hero. As his music career begins to rise, the past refuses to loosen its grip. Old friends question his loyalty. Anonymous messages remind him where he came from. Eyes follow him back into a world he's trying to outgrow. In a city where pride can be louder than reason, Malik is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: Not every battle deserves to be fought. Torn between reputation and redemption, between who he was and who his son sees him as, Malik must decide who he will be... before midnight falls. A gripping story of loyalty, fatherhood, pressure, and the fight to break a cycle that was never meant to be survived.
