Synopsis:
The setting is Oakland, 1989. Oakland teenager, Maceo Redfield seems to have everything. He comes from an affluent, well respected family. His grandfather is considered one of the city's patriarchs. He attends the local university though he is currently visiting home. He is also a fine baseball player in spite of being small for the sport. However, Maceo's idyllic world is transformed when he learns that someone has put a bullet into the head of his childhood buddy Billy Crane, a major local player in the lucrative drug trade. Billy's murder is not such a shock as dealers are routinely killed in the cut-throat quest for customers. But when Maceo learns that Billy's girlfriend Flea has vanished, he decides he must do something as she is the unrequited love of his life. As he begins to investigate Billy's death and search for Flea, Maceo soon finds the allure of the drug world calling to him like a sexy siren; a world in which dealers, players, and interlopers, obeying a code of honour all their own, engage in a deadly game to capture the heart of Oakland. And when Maceo finally uncovers the truth about Billy, the story builds to a shocking and painful climax.
