"Set in the 2000s on the fictional reserve of �P-ko-sey-i-mo-min, 16-year-old Josh "Creeboy" navigates the world of Indigenous gang life. His dad, the leader of one of the gangs on his reserve, is in jail, and his older brother Darion has taken his place. Josh is unsure whether gang life is for him -- that is until Darion is killed during a run-in with a rival gang.

Can his family, and his community, save Josh before his fate becomes that of his father and brother?"--
