Summary

In America?s most dangerous city theirs only two ways to survive, one is by the grace of God?.the other is with a gun and a strong team. Taino Ramirez chose the second option, the same one his father, uncles, and older cousins chose. They say it?s a hood everywhere, which might be true but none of them are quite like Camden, New Jersey. While most ?hoods?, are part of a larger city center, Camden is just all hood. No nice part?.just area?s that are a little more tolerable than others. In the early 80?s while crack cocaine was sweeping the nation?Camden had already been swept under! Camden, North Camden in particular, was a war zone during these times. Most weren?t brave enough to venture to this part of the city but for some there was no choice?.this was home. Taino was one of the people that called North Camden home until he went down for murder at the young age of 17. While incarcerated he made a lot of changes mentally but in actuality all he knew was the game. While in prison he began hearing that his nephew (Juan Ramirez) Jay and his best friend Quan have been in the streets dabbling in the drug game. He constantly tells Jay about the dangers of the streets but in the back of his mind he feels he has one more run in him and that Jay and Quan could be vital assets, if schooled right. This time he wants to do it big and then go legit, but he keeps all these ideas to himself. The Sons of Sin is a story of trust, love, loyalty, deceit and double crossing. It?s a ghetto love story filled with drama and compassion; it also gives an accurate view of what?s going on in the hood. It?s a lesson of how the game is not loyal to anyone, it eats up families and doesn?t care who it destroys. It?s a story about growing up to fast and chasing illusions. It?s about the youth growing up in the nation?s poorest city where jobs and role models are few and far between. It?s about the youth trying to survive but in all the wrong ways.
