Product Overview
Blood is thicker than water! Every grimy hustler will utter those words when they are out on the block, chasing the bag. But when Flash's back is against the wall and he's being pressured by homicide detectives, all sense of loyalty goes out the window. Flash, the son of the South Bronx drug queenpin Vickie Lopez, decides he isn't going to prison, not even for his own mother. When he's arrested for trying to sell a pound of weed to an undercover federal agent, he spills his guts to Philadelphia federal agents, resulting in the arrest and federal conviction, under the RICO Act, of his own mother. She's staring down a life sentence. As the clock winds down on the deal he cut with the Feds, Flash is shipped to Heavenford, one of the harshest prisons in the state of Pennsylvania. His older brother, who is the South Bronx's most notorious contract killer, tracks him down behind bars for a family reunion. With nowhere to run, Flash is forced to lie in the bed he made for himself. His past has finally come back to haunt him. Will his brother make him pay the ultimate price for betraying their mother, or will he forgive Flash for his sin?
