A sophomore class of street-smart jits from Lake Worth High School in South Florida are out for the summer and split into opposing factions that begin to sell dope, rob, steal and kill; all for the street glory and to chase that bag. Lil' Man and his homies mercilessly pursue riches by starting to Hobbs Act rob some well-known gangstas and dope boys.
Small animosities in Palm Beach County turn deadly as the baby gangstas in each faction reach their peak and maximize profit margins by any means necessary-other than summer reading or arithmetic homework. As Whiteboy and Rico find their niche in the streets, their small war quickly turns bloody while bodies start dropping, tit for tat, and inept law enforcement are lost trying to solve the string of murders but consistently fumbling.
Being young jits had no ill effect on their hustle game or ability to pull that trigger and take a life, to further ensure their respective hold on the streets. What started as who might be the next Big jit of the brutal Lake Worth streets, might end up as just a Hobbs Act Summer for these certified teenage smackas.
Will they head to the Federal penitentiary for the Hobbs Act robberies that started their summer off, or will only the strongest of the L-Dub survive? Find out in this coming-of-age gangsta crime novel that introduces real kids with real street lives...and the real consequences that follow.
"By far Taboo's greatest work to date.. efficiently bringing to life the teenage years in the streets of Palm Beach County, Florida..."
