Wendell Shyly knows when the dogs will attack the girl. He hates them. He loves her. He plans to stop the attack, to rescue her. He fails. That's when Wendell plans his own kind of war.

A story about gang violence, criminal sexual conduct, and class warfare where a boy becomes a man by redefining rescue and accepting the consequences of his own brand of justice that puts both Catholic and Protestant theologies to the test.

Douglas K Pearson taught inside Michigan's 'Punk Prison, ' the state's Level 5 maximum-security prison for teenagers charged as adults, an experience that fed into the sociopathic currents of this novel. But it was his work as an American literature teacher at a Christian high school that best exposed him to the cruelty of the human heart, as well as humanity's ability to find redemption in the darkest places.
