Preston and his younger brother Devon are two African American slaves of two Native Americans, a father and a daughter. They live on a farm, and the father Alo and his daughter treat them terribly. They are especially treated terribly by the daughter Halona, and then something happens that nobody expects. Later there are two boys, one's a psychopath who wants to kill anybody and anything, and the other wants to see a result of metamorphosis. Then there's a guy dealing with his abusive slave master father. This book is a dark family drama with abuse, mental illness, cannibalism, and indigenous North American Stickball.
