High school students DeMarco and Kyle couldn't be more different, but each seems to have what the other wants. And on a rough night in the 'hood, it's suddenly unclear whether there's enough room on the streets for both of them. . .

Born in the heart of the Atlanta ghetto, DeMarco Johnson developed a talent for survival--and basketball. Now his skills have gotten him into a high school for the privileged, and that's where he'd like to stay. . .

On the other side of town, Kyle Whiteside hails from one of Atlanta's wealthiest African-American families. But Kyle's a wannabe thug who sees his parents' money as a way to buy himself out of trouble. . .

When DeMarco and Kyle meet on their school's turf, they hit it off like oil and water. But one night Kyle's bravado lands him in a dangerous situation. The only person who can help him is DeMarco. Can they put their differences aside--if it's a matter of life and death?
