Description
It’s 1975. Three years since Johnny Álvarez fled the brutality of his home to vanish on the streets of New York City. As he assembles the Dogs of War, his disparate gang of urban youth, they become the target of a larger, more menacing crew. To avoid Dos Cruces’ violent attacks, the Dogs must use wit and strategy.
Johnny becomes involved with Marco, a tempestuous drug supplier who inspires admiration, but also rueful reminiscence of Johnny’s father. His demands challenge Johnny’s morals, but the payout is hard to ignore. As is Johnny’s aptitude for carrying out his lethal tasks.
Amid his nefarious entanglements, Johnny falls for Jessica. She is witty and self-assured, opening him to normalcy and tenderness for the first time. But as his worlds spin ever closer, will he escape the brutality of his past or be forced to embrace it?
