This place is better off without me."  22-year-old Tyler Ryan, known to everyone as "Knots" is a low-life inhabitant of Chicago's underbelly. From age 16 when his parents were killed by a mentally unstable passerby, he has had to fend for himself on the streets. With his street friends Lucy "Barbie" Anderson, Jacob "Tails" Macarch, and Davis "Chocker" Randall, they have some pretty good times. With Barbie's many boyfriends, Chocker's run ins with the higher classes, and Knots's strange encounters with a boy from the other block, times get pretty interesting around their neck of the woods. But hey, everything turns out fine when you're street smart. Right?

"The streets or nothin' else." That's the only truth Travis has ever known. Raised in the ruthless grip of BLACK FIST, he was taught that loyalty is everything, weakness is a death sentence, and a bullet is sometimes the only way out. He's built for this life until a small voice buried deep inside starts whispering: What if there's more? More than guns, drugs, and a future already set in stone? Across Norwood Grove, Devon is chasing a different dream. An artist with talent too big for the streets, he's desperate to escape, to carve out a new life where his name isn't tied to struggle. But dreams don't come free. To make it out, he'll have to burn bridges, break promises, and become someone he swore he'd never be. Because in this world, survival isn't just about making it-it's about making it first. But when two worlds collide-when a reckless soldier meets a man willing to play the game-everything changes. Love turns to betrayal. Desire sparks war. And in the end, the streets always collect their debt in blood. "What's gonna happen if we run away?" He asked eyes bloodshot, slaty tears breaking their dams flowing effortlessly off his face, his hands were smeared in blood as they locked eyes. But you can't run away from a life of code and brotherhood. You're in it till death.
