PLOT AND CHARACTERS

The story starts when Shane Lynch is released from prison after a ten year stint. He has been put into prison for the murder of one of his long time child hood friends. Because of his good behavior and his repentance for his crime he is let out early. Another one of Shane's childhood friends, Johnny (Lastname), is not so thrilled to hear that Shane is back on the streets. Johnny was very close to the person that Shane killed and viewed him almost as a little brother, when Shane got jealous. The three of them were at one time small scale drug dealers, but after Johnny got out Shane took Dennis (the one he killed) under his wing. They started getting bigger and eventually went their separate ways. But when Shane realized that he was slowly slipping down the ladder while Dennis was climbing up to take his spot he didn't know what else to do. To him, the only justifiable action to protect his own was to take out Dennis. But his time in prison showed him the error of his ways and wanted nothing more than to get out and make amends for his past actions. Johnny doesn't care. He feels that the only justifiable punishment for Shane is death. Even if he has to do it himself.
