But what was once a comfort to him after the loss of his mother has become a window to the truth of what happens at the reformatory.

Through his friends Redbone and Blue, Robbie is learning not just the rules but how to survive. Meanwhile, Gloria is rallying every family member and connection in Florida to find a way to get Robbie out before it's too late.
