This is a true story of
revenge and friendship written in first person reminiscent. Four inseparable
boys John, Tommy, Michael and the narrator Shakes, live within the closed
neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan. Hell’s Kitchen is a neighborhood
with strictly enforced rules of behavior that could be physically enforced upon
kids. Life is hard for them but as long as they have each other, and nothing
else, they are content with living in Hell’s Kitchen.
The boys play childish pranks on people as they struggle to live in Hell’s Kitchen. Pranks that go from stealing candy at a convenience store to trespassing in the Sacred Heart Church to sit in the booth and listen to people confess their sins. They believed they would never get caught. That all changed when a terrible prank ended up in the death of a local hot dog vendor and the four boys find themselves in the Wilkinson Home for Boys juvenile imprisonment. This is the story of what horrible brutality these boys encounter over the course of one year. They are abused by guards in horrific way such as being molested and raped, beaten nearly to death and suffering from starvation. Find out how these boys get revenge when years later one becomes a lawyer, one becomes a reporter, and two become murderers.
