Seventeen-year-old DeAndre Blackshere knows how to survive.
School by day, street life by night - running errands for the ruthless Mr. Biggs has become second nature. But lately, the rush feels more like a trap. One wrong move, one bad deal, and everything could come crashing down.
His best friends, Cam and Justin, are the only ones who truly get him. They've always had his back, even when his reckless decisions pull them too close to danger. And then there's Nyala Anderson - smart, beautiful, and nothing like the girls DeAndre's used to. She's proof there's another way to live, if only he can escape the life that owns him.
As rival crews, hidden agendas, and Mr. Biggs' tight grip close in, DeAndre must decide: stay loyal to the streets that raised him, or risk everything for the future he secretly wants.
