The story of Boogie is the story of everybody who ever broke from tradition. Boogie has a six-year-old son named Darius. For Darius to grow up in a less violent place than his father did, a place where he doesn't have to expect aggression, Boogie has agreed to isolation, to risk the envy of his old friends, and to shoulder the hopes and possible futures of dozens of people, not all of whom would do the same for him. Boogie has to be away from Darius for weeks at a time. Boogie has to make it.
