The book's main character is 17-year-old Dixon Theodore Anderson, nicknamed Teddy. Teddy is a hacker and a very intelligent young man. He is very attractive and has a well constructed body. Teddy's entire neighbourhood is overrun by gangsters and his sister, Tina Anderson, is killed in a crossfire. While the Anderson family mourns her death, Teddy goes to his car to seek vengeance. He is unsuccessful in getting revenge and is arrested. He then spends time in a California juvenile prison waiting for a judge to hear his case. During this time, Teddy is treated as if he was a gangster. He is set free, but is put under house arrest and is enrolled in a probation program. Teddy is forced to spend five days each week mentoring a kid named Micah. Teddy has difficulty tutoring Micah because he wants to be a gangster. But through Micah, Teddy is taught how to love someone and see how people can change. Also this book talks about when Teddy meets the person that killed his sister, and he wasn't from 0-1-0. He was a member of another rival gang. Mumzy B is the shooter responsible for the murder of his little sister.
