“I felt like I was watching it play out as a movie while reading.” - Amazon review
Suicidal thoughts. Blind youthful passion. Quiet inspiration. Will a mysterious older brother be enough to save his life?
After his mother’s fatal car crash, seventeen-year-old graffiti artist Oliver Murphy is ready to die. The only thing keeping him alive through his deep adolescent depression is a dark secret, and a reckless alter ego with an uncontrollable lust for notoriety. Even his best friend and love of his life can’t bring him back from the brink of death.
The system sees him as a troubled high school kid without purpose. But when the city sleeps, Oliver’s raw untapped potential as an artist emerges from the darkness that he cannot control, and his new brother might have the only answer. Through his brother’s eyes and a shared love of basketball, Oliver sees a whole new world of possibility and spirituality that he never knew existed.
But there is still one man standing in his way.
