The Long Way Home

By George Hopkins and Saleem Little

Calvin is a highschool phenom on the basketball court. A legend in his neighborhood in the city of Chicago. Scouts from around the country had their eyes on him. Still, all of this meant nothing to Calvin who was struggling with poverty and now the reality of a family of his own he would be forced to provide for when his girlfriend Nicole becomes pregnant.

Cash chose the streets as a young boy and never looked back. He had no sports or entertainment fantasies. His only reality was cash and the pursuit of it. He had never planned to involve Calvin in his life but when he loses a worker he decides to call Calvin to complete a transaction for him. Sometimes one taste is all it takes to develop a lust for something. Will Calvin make the right decision or will his need for immediate wealth force him onto a path he may never return from?
