Kalif is treacherous, conniving, and coldhearted-- everything his adoptive family did not want to be. The hot-tempered young man is indeed his father's son. While off his meds, Kalif discovers the circumstances surrounding the brutal murder of his birth parents. Ignoring the possible consequences, his rage and thirst for power increases. Deep off into the zone, Kalif rises through the ranks of the Motor City crime underworld, proving to everyone, including himself, he deserved the hard-earned title of kingpin of Detroit. -- adapted from back cover
