Description

In the unforgiving streets of Chicago’s South Side, survival is a daily battle, and Jacob knows this better than most. At just thirteen, he’s forced to become the man of the house, raising eight siblings while his mother, Laura, battles a devastating addiction. The world he knew—one filled with family trips, laughter, and security—crumbles, leaving him no choice but to turn to the streets for answers and opportunity. Guided by the enigmatic and ruthless Big J, Jacob learns the rules of the game: trust no one, show no weakness, and always be ready to pay the price of survival. But as the streets pull him deeper into a dangerous world of hustling and violence, Jacob finds himself walking a tightrope between protecting his family and losing himself to the very life he despises. With siblings who rely on him, a younger brother eager to follow in his footsteps, and a growing hunger to rewrite their story, Jacob must decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—to break free.
