On one fateful night, a robbery gone wrong will set into motion a series of events that will haunt Quick forever. At twenty-years-old, the only thing Quick knows is how to survive life on the streets. Most of his friends are dead or in jail, and his younger brother, Trouble, gives new meaning to the word. No matter how much Quick wants to leave this thug life behind, his feet are firmly planted to the only thing he knows—the streets of Rochester, New York. As bloody turf wars rage around town, Quick finds himself aligned with Knottyhead, a notorious man with a violent reputation. After a string of robberies, murders, drugs, and petty crime, Quick meets Tracy, a beautiful nurse who is untainted by Quick’s hard lifestyle. As Quick struggles to lead a double life of violence and love, he must ultimately decide his fate—whether he lives or dies in the place he calls home.
