Book excerpt: Welcome to the mean city streets of Chicago, Illinois; where the rising dope game and all its treacheries are an abundant way of ghetto life. Meet Vontay Scott, -aka- Insane; born and raised in the heart of the Englewood neighborhood. A leader by nature, and aspiring to snatch his crew and family out of the grasp of the hood. Insane stumbles upon the connect of a lifetime. And if he could only get a one year run, he could go completely legit. His high school sweetheart and ride or die chick Ericka is expecting. And with a family of their own forming soon, can Ericka convince Insane to quit the game for good, and move on before the envious streets could swallow him whole.
