Description
Seventeen-year-old Brianna Baxter, better known as Patience, is the head of a neighborhood gang called The Warriors. Patience and her gang have a history of violence in their neighborhood of Scotland Heights, also known as "The Yard." Patience, who has been in the gang since she was 12 years old, feels a strong urge to leave that lifestyle behind in search of a better life. Unfortunately, walking away from the Warriors in one piece has never been done, and she knows that if she tries, her sisters will retaliate with violence. Taking a chance, Patience tells her sisters her plans. In order for her to leave, they tell her she will have to be involved in one last gang activity. What Patience doesn't know is that her gang sisters are planning a set-up to implicate her as the culprit—until Denim Mitchell overhears the entire plot in a sandwich shop and decides to help Patience escape the gang and start a better life.
