Maurice 'MoJo' Joseph's body is found with an arrow sticking out of its back atop Raymond Donne's school. Mojo had seemingly turned his life around and was soon to be a father, but a bag of heroine on his person and he'd been conducting work behind his employer's back. Was he really clean, or was there more to his actions?
Raymond Donne's life takes a dramatic turn after a career-ending accident forces him to leave his job as a police officer in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Transitioning to a schoolteacher in the same community, he struggles to redefine his identity and move past his former life in law enforcement. The story explores themes of resilience and adaptation as he navigates his new role while dealing with the expectations placed upon him as the nephew of a prominent detective.
