14-year-old Brady has lived through the suicide of his father, the death of his grandmother who raised him, and the torments of his sadistic mother. After moving from the gritty inner-city of Cleveland to a desert's edge suburb of Las Vegas, he finds camaraderie and brotherhood with a scruffy group of older boys who love Dungeons & Dragons.
In the summer before his sophomore year, everything takes a turn for the worse when an ominous figure named Alex leads Brady's tight knit group into a world of hard drugs, gun games, and cartels. Caught between preserving the sliver of belonging that he's cultivated with his best friend Mick or doing what he thinks is right—either of which could get him killed—Brady navigates drug deals gone wrong, police at his house, his mother's tyrannical rule, and the sudden attention of Cheryl, a beautiful girl six years older than him.
"She was like a ray of sunshine bleeding into this dingy establishment, a bright glow that cut through the darkness just like the one that encompassed us every time someone opened the front doors. It was a reminder, just like she was, that beauty can be found anywhere if you look hard enough. Except I must have been lucky because I wasn't looking."
