Description
What if a 10,000 member gang hunted your city's wealthiest?
Hustle the beautifully gritty streets of Los Angeles in the shoes of a 14-year-old gang pledge and a wealthy entrepreneur playboy who live a mile apart but would never cross paths . . . until now.
Scooby grew up believing a brutal LA gang, the Lords Latino, was responsible for putting food on his family's table. Now, still too young to shave, he has a chance to join his brother in the gang and help provide for his baby sister. First, though, he must survive initiation: being beaten--possibly to death--or committing an unthinkable crime.
In the same city but a different world, payday loan scion Tom Milford would rather be partying the night away with (yet another) model, but after insensitive comments land his company in a PR quagmire, his very public act of contrition takes him to a rough-around-the-edges part of town, where bad timing places him at the center of Scooby s initiation.
Their violent clash triggers a series of events that rapidly spirals out of control, putting both lives in the crosshairs and bringing tensions that have long simmered just below the city's surface to a boil, drawing young and old, poor and rich, powerful and powerless into a battle that threatens to destroy them all.
