Summary
What could the wealthy residents of the Hamptons have in common with the street merchants of the ghettos of New York City, and how could the two worlds collide?
Come take the journey with two generations of hustlers from the Cain Family as they attempt to claim their piece of the hustling trade. See how lessons of friendship and betrayal are learned, first hand.
Zandell Cain is imprisoned for 20 years for his participation in the drug trade. He entrusts his life long friend, "Legs" with the upbringing of his only son, Lil' Zan. As a young adult, Lil' Zan follows in the footsteps of his father and makes his living in the streets, becoming a trusted member of a feared group known as "The Family" and their fearless leader "Fire". He finds that sex, money and murder are every day tools needed for his survival.
Lil' Zan encounters a gorgeous young woman by the name of "Beauty" who is raised by the Lipscomb family, a prominent and wealthy political family in the Hamptons, with their own problems and many dark secrets.
Come for a ride in limousines and private jets. Visit the grand openings, strip clubs, tropical islands, comedy clubs, recording studios, basketball tournaments and more. Share the ups and downs as these characters try to live their dreams only to find that they're "So Close, yet So Far".
Reviews
"You won't get any closer to the rules, principals and consequences of the street unless you live it."
— Big Joe, New Era-Dip Set
"Nobody else could have made the comforts of the Hamptons as gritty and overwhelming as the ghettos of New York City. The ending will rock you. A definite page-turner!"
— Mikell Davis, Author of Black Mafia
