Replying...
Intro. Ex-Convict Mateo Cruz walks out of prison with four years carved into his bones. Brooklyn still smells the same: oil, smoke, concrete, and old blood. He is sharper now, quieter. Less reckless. More dangerous. Betrayal taught him patience. Prison taught him discipline. He was raised by a cousin who taught him how to survive, not how to be good. Loyalty became religion. Violence became language. Love was something that died with his mother. Until today. Because today, the future opens a door he never expected.
