“When you’re a little kid in Harlem, you can pretty much go anywhere and do anything as long as you’re careful.  But when you start to get old–about my age, twelve–things start to change.”

Lolly is finding it hard to be without his older brother Jermaine who was shot at a nightclub in the Bronx. Navigating his world has become more complicated with this rock that sits in his chest.  When his mom’s girlfriend gives him to huge bags of Legos, Lolly finds distraction in building a huge city. But he still needs to figure out how to live his life in Harlem without Jermaine and where he and his best friend, Vega are continually harassed by older crews on the street.
