Lorenzo Brown just wants to stay straight. After eight years in prison on a drug charge, he's come "uptown"-back to the
 Washington, DC neighborhood where he grew up, where his old cohorts still work their corners and their angles, trying to get
 ahead and stay alive. But Lorenzo's had enough of the life: Now he has a job as a Humane Society officer, policing animal abusers
 and protecting the abused. In the dangerous streets he used to menace, Lorenzo plays a part in maintain- ing order-and it's a role
 reversal some of his former friends don't appreciate. Rachel Lopez, Lorenzo's parole officer, tries to help him, even as she battles
 her own demons and excesses. Trying to stay one step ahead of her troubled past is a daily struggle. It looks like they both might
 make it, until a malevolent young killer, working for the powerful local drug boss, changes everything with one violent act. 
Now Lorenzo finds himself caught between the light and dark sides of the street, struggling to stay legit-or throw everything 
away to exact revenge.
