Sid stood near the door of the classroom he raged out of the day he slammed little Ricky face-first into the lockers. Two of his new Sig brothers, Clint and Wayne, the...

Excerpt: “Come on, Billy,” Jillian said. “Let's dance. It's a party.” I set my beer cup down on an old, paint-spattered table. She dragged me toward the small corner stage as Little Big Donnelly shouted out, “one, two, three, four,” and the band ripped into “Twist and Shout” by the Beatles.
