One man’s revenge on a system that stole his life
No one ever suspected Knook Barrow would jump in the game; the people he knew respected him for wanting to be the first black college graduate to ever make it out of Houston, Texas’ drug-infested project-housing unit known as Cuney Homes. It wasn’t until a drastic neighborhood sweep by crooked law enforcement agents which landed Knook in the bullpen of the county jail.
Loosing his academic scholarship and getting sentenced to two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, caused him to lose respect for the system. But the ultimate betrayal of life happens while Knook is gone away.
Back on the streets with a score to settle, Knook no longer wants to take his chemist skills to the classroom; but the streets, to a player, was the place to be.
