High-school dropout Cam, a bike messenger in NYC, is down on his luck: incarcerated father, deceased mother, debt-ridden and now jobless after a beautiful girl causes him to wreck his bike. Captivated, Cam works his way into her group of friends, an underground parkour gang. Readers entertained by the cinematic action scenes and gritty urban setting may overlook the predictable plot.
