Overview
Ā
Jersey Leo knows what it means to be the underdog. After all, heās the guy known on the streets as āSnowball,ā a biracial albino working the bar at Philadelphiaās Ink Well, a Prohibition joint serving up moonshine to a mostly Black clientele. So when death row inmate Aaron Garvey calls to ask for one last favor, Jersey canāt say no. Aaron may be a convicted cop-killer, but heās also the childhood friend who stood up to Jerseyās bullies. As a Black kid with the kind of colorless features only the mother who abandoned him could love, Jersey hadĀ a lotĀ of enemies.
Ā
And the numbers keep growing, though this time itās crooked cops looking to break Jerseyās legsāor worseāafter Aaron springs himself from prison just moments after he and Jersey share his last meal. But that doesnāt stop Jersey from hiding the escaped convict while he uncovers the real story about what happened that night Aaron pulled the trigger. Even Jerseyās father, a former boxing champ, is on his side this time, along with Jerseyās childhood crush, Myra Banks. With his dad in his corner and a good-looking dame on his arm, will Jersey uncover the truth before itās too late?
