Description

Baker Grimes understands how much weight a name can carry. What he didn't know was how his name would eventually define him in ways he would never imagine. Baker was born the only child of Maria Grimes. She is the Dominican Cartel's most deadly female. The Dominican born Maria gave birth to her son in the mist of a drug raid that took place in Norfolk, Virginia at her Park Place apartment. She would later lose her freedom because of murder when Baker was 7 years old. With his mother in jail, Baker moved to his Grandmother's home in the Colonial Place section of Norfolk, which is only a stone's throw from the mean streets of Park Place. While in the stable and nurturing care of his Grandma Rosa, Baker seems to be on his way to a simplistic childhood until he is presented with a proposal from his cousin Sammy whom is more like his brother. The proposal Sammy presented came from the neighborhood kingpin who watched them turn their Atari game system into a money machine by inviting their friends to play for a fee. After spiraling events spin Baker out of control into a methodical tantrum of vengeance, Baker finds out love and loyalty can be disrupted with a price and the streets...DON'T PLAY GAMES!
