Reese is 14 and in the second year of his sentence at the Progress juvenile detention center. He was arrested and convicted for stealing a doctor's prescription pads, and selling them to a drug dealer. If he behaves and follows all the rules, he might be able to get out early, especially if he gets good reports from his work assignment at a nearby nursing home. If he can't manage that, he'll get sent "upstate" and the prison there is far worse, with much less chance of getting out alive. Reese is smart, but he's made mistakes, and he knows the system will hold those against him... as well as the fact that his mother is an addict, his stepfather is abusive, and his family lives in the projects. Reese has hope, courage, and struggles every day to balance the choices he makes. If he stands up for a weaker boy, the inevitable fight will mean more time added to his sentence, but if he stands by and does nothing, he loses his self-respect. His goal is to get out and find a legit way to earn money to send his little sister Icy to college and get her out of the trap of poverty and crime, but to do that he has to get through the rest of his time at Progress. Actions and consequences are everything. The situations are realistic and uncertain, with threatened and real violence. Some language, but this is an honest part of the story... the conversations wouldn't ring true for imprisoned inner city thugs and thieves otherwise. 8th grade and up.
