Boone Boyd learned a thing or two about odds at a very early age. In the hands of a gambling-addicted father, Boone and his best friend, Ronnie Birch, are left to develop lax morals and a unique view of what the adult world is all about.
As Boone graduates from looking for his missing mother in his father's latest girlfriends to becoming fascinated with his best friend's older sister, two thugs set their sights on making the boys' lives miserable. Although their attitudes don't serve them well at school, Boone and Ronnie put their heads together to gain what small victories they can over their tormentors.
The duo's difficulties and choices follow them through their teenage years, twenties, and thirties, where the scars of their youths and the decisions they made in the past have come to shape their lives.
Boone delivers a hearty meal of psychological depth, twists and turns, and quirky wit, as two friends struggle forward despite having the odds stacked up against them.
