Fifteen-year-old Jakub Kaminsky is the son of Polish immigrants, a good Catholic boy, and a graffiti artist. While his father sleeps, Jakub and his best friend, Lincoln, sneak out with spray paint to make their mark as Morf and Skar.

While Jakubâs future is looking bright, Lincolnâs gets shady as he is lured into his brotherâs gang. Jakub watches helplessly as Lincoln gets pulled deeper into the violent world of the Red Bloodz. The Red Bloodz find out Jakub knows more than he should about a murder and want him silenced â for good. Lincoln has to either save his friend, or embrace life as one of the Red Bloodz.
