Billy McQueen works hard to keep his life together ... and concealed. At seventeen, he dreams of an escape from the rural Pennsylvania barroom, his father’s manipulation, and the advances of his father’s girlfriend. For his eighteenth birthday, he is given a prostitute and introduced to a brother he never knew he had—an eight-year-old, incapable of navigating the corrupt world of his father’s boxing club. Billy realizes, in order to protect his little brother, he can never leave. No matter what.
After discovering a battered young woman in the back shed of the club, Billy uncovers the true nature of his father's activities. Before he can share it, he is kidnapped and sold as an escort to a wealthy old maid. His death is fabricated and his little brother used as leverage for his compliance.
In order to secure his freedom, Billy must fight for it.
To save his little brother who is next in line for the slave trade... he must be willing to die for it.
