About This Book

High school students DeMarco and Kyle couldn't be more different, but each seems to have what the other wants. And on a rough night in the 'hood, it's suddenly unclear whether there's enough room on the streets for both of them…
Born in the heart of the Atlanta ghetto, DeMarco Johnson developed a talent for survival—and basketball. Now his skills have gotten him into a high school for the privileged, and that's where he'd like to stay…

On the other side of town, Kyle Whiteside hails from one of Atlanta's wealthiest African-American families. But Kyle's a wannabe thug who sees his parents' money as a way to buy himself out of trouble…

When DeMarco and Kyle meet on their school's turf, they hit it off like oil and water. But one night Kyle's bravado lands him in a dangerous situation. The only person who can help him is DeMarco. Can they put their differences aside—if it's a matter of life and death?
