This story is set in the early 1990s. Our prime character in this hood novel is Jacob Johnston, who was brought up in Brooklyn by his estranged mother. They were estranged due to his mother’s neglect and use of drugs. She is desperately trying to be a better mother, but Jacob can’t forget the hardships she bestowed on him at an early age. Jacob, who is mostly called Jake, takes on a proposal from a childhood friend that could be better summed up as making a deal with the devil. Jake’s family is now having money troubles, and Jake is ready to step in again and help out, as well as get his own place. These are but a few reasons he takes on this scheme. Shortly after his success with his childhood friend’s proposition, things begin to take on a boomerang effect and hit Jake where it hurts. Sort of a tit for tat becomes this for that, and lives are lost. Unbeknownst to Jake, his main foe is located in the Bronx. This menace has no plans to slow or back down from the war that has been waged. Will this hellish roller coaster come to an end before it’s too late? The only two things left in Jake’s mind were to live or die in the Broox.
