Overview

Billy Mott, 15, narrates the events of his life during the winter of 1971 in a fading shore town. He's an orphan, being raised by a demanding aunt after his parents died in an accident years ago. Angry and bored, inclined to see his home as a cage and his aunt and much-older brother as jailers, he quits school to pursue love and leisure with idling friends like him. An older boy mentors Billy in all things ""street."" His brothers from the notorious youth fraternity he joined in high school unfold new worlds of drug-dealing and violence. As their adventures become more illicit an inconvenient morality unsettles him. Billy begins to wonder whether he should abandon this exciting but perilous life or continue down a road that may lead to disaster.
