Nine-year-old Johnny James lives in The Casque, the poorest neighborhood in Greater Angeles, where he shares a one-room apartment with his mother, stepfather, two brothers, and an army of cockroaches. He spends his days in the sweltering heat of the neighborhood, at the movie theaters, playing tackleball, or drawing - but there's no money for him to go to school.\u003cp\u003eAs death, addiction, and violence swirl through the neighborhood, Johnny grows up with friends, adventures, and magic around him.
