The tomorrow game : rival teenagers, their race for a gun, and a community united to save them / Sudhir Venkatesh.

Summary:

"At the heart of the story are two teenagers: Marshal Mariot, an introverted video gamer and bike rider, and Frankie Paul, who leaves foster care to direct his cousin's drug business while he's in prison. Frankie devises a plan to attack Marshall and his friends--it is his best chance to showcase his toughness and win respect for his crew. Catching wind of the plan, Marshall and his friends decide they must preemptively go after Frankie's crew to defend their honor. The pressure mounts as both groups of teens race to find a gun and strike first. All the while, the community at large--a cast that includes the teens' families, black market gun dealers, local pastors, a bodega owner and a veteran beat cop--try their best to defuse the conflict and keep the kids alive."--Amazon.
