They call it "the game."
But as one young man will tell you in this candid new work, the drug trade isn't a game at all. For Pee, a boy in Brooklyn, New York, the game became his entire life. There were no second chances in the game, and as Pee rose in the ranks, one move could have gotten him killed.
Pee and his best friend, Bee, had been inseparable for years. Pee never forgot the moment when Bee entered his block in Brooklyn, New York, and showed him the world beyond. The two wanted all they could take from life, and eventually they turned to the game.
Pee and Bee became expert players, but it soon became clear-the game was taking its toll on their very souls.
When Pee found something worth much more to him than the game, he began to realize the true dangers he faced. With the help of a special new friend, Pee started rejecting the violence and instability of the game. He began finding himself, but at what cost?
The only thing more dangerous than playing the game is trying to leave it.
