When his brother is killed in front of him and his father goes to prison for murder, Jericho has no choice but to step up and take care of his three younger sisters. Selling drugs on the side to help his mom pay the bills, the world is on his shoulders. Life is hard, but it gets harder when the streets collide with his family and Jericho loses everything he loves. When Jericho finally moves to a new state and the pressure is off, he has to learn to cope in the aftermath of loss.

“You’re such a fu*king deadbeat! I’m sick of you.” She’s been screaming the same thing for twenty minutes, mad that Daddy won’t give her his credit card. “Get out, Cree. Take all your stuff and leave, I don’t care.” A loud smack echoes all the way to my room and I know she hit him like she’s done before.
