Losing the ideal of his life, with his mother not questioning the ultimate verdict of the Police Department, he would not settle for anything less! A fifteen-year-old teen hitting the streets and hooking up with members of one of the most widespread drug trafficking gangs from Meriden, CT, to Florida ends up having near-death experiences. Love replaced with weed, innocence replaced with fury, and high school replaced with Grove Street clubhouse. What more does he have to give up in search of truth? Wandering from place to place, having moved to so many different places to bust up their connections with the Diablos and starting anew. For the sake of his life, his father ended up signing a deal to infiltrate the gang he befriended for more than 20 years. His eventual effort to make up and secure his family led him to an intimate meeting with Jackie Baltas at the Apple Harvest festival had gone in vain.
The drift that his father's hanging corpse in the closet of Heritage Inn, at Stuart Florida, brought into his life has shown him the real face of the so-called cops and detectives. They would pat his back and utter words of assurances promising to save his father's life even from hell. Yet, his father's murder, painted as suicide to get rid of taking responsibility for him, who gave up his life, working as an informant for the detectives of the federal department, Southington. Who knew they would later relish the fruit of efforts made by his father and keep away from his only son the pieces of evidence that could lead him to the truth? But he would dig the earth and tear down the heaven to unveil the veracity of his father's demise. In his expedition to get to that one person who would say, I killed him, he would come across the abhorrent truths of his father's side of the family and the potential personalities of this murder's triangle-- the police, the Diablos and the Dominellos.
