YA
Teddy is arrested while seeking revenge for the accidental gang-shooting death of his sister. As an alternative to prison, he mentors an at-risk boy. Teddy's plans to manipulate the justice system shift when he learns the police have the wrong suspect and his charge knows the truth. Occasional shifts in perspective are distracting. The violent, gritty setting is vividly portrayed.
