From Lorenzo Carcaterra comes a powerful and controversial story of friendship, trauma, and revenge set against the gritty backdrop of New York.

Growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, four boys share an unbreakable bond—until a childhood mistake sends them to a juvenile detention centre where their lives are forever changed. What happens behind those walls leaves scars that follow them into adulthood, shaping who they become and the choices they make.

Years later, when their paths cross again under unexpected circumstances, the past resurfaces in a way none of them can ignore. As justice, loyalty, and revenge collide, they must confront what was done to them—and what they’re willing to do in return.
