Description
The most dangerous person in the ghetto stands 5’6”. She is kept strung out in her bedroom by her brother. If she awakens no one that has ever crossed her will ever be safe again.
In 1982, a street pusher supplies the drugs for a small but powerful gang. Little does Tyrone know that soon their cozy little world will become deadly. Tyrone with his blue eyes and white skin is the last person that should be the only face seen in the deadly turf war. For now he is trying to understand his feelings for the woman that is kept strung-out in the bedroom. Is she a prisoner, why does she seem to disappear until he injects her with the finest heroin that her brother can buy?
And even while the world is turning upside down for them all Tyrone does the unthinkable—he’s awakened Coco.
