What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad&;s pleadings that he&;s stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad&;s resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad&;s every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered. But how can you stay still when someone is pounding your face into the concrete pavement? There were witnesses: Quinn Collins&;a varsity basketball player and Rashad&;s classmate who has been raised by Paul since his own father died in Afghanistan&;and a video camera.

Quinn refuses to believe that the man who has basically been his savior could possibly be guilty. But then Rashad is absent. And absent again. And again. And the basketball team&;half of whom are Rashad&;s best friends&;start to take sides. As does the school. And the town. Simmering tensions threaten to explode as Rashad and Quinn are forced to face decisions and consequences they had never considered before.
