Carlton was a thugged-out hustler that headed a mob of youngsters known as BDP (Boston Damn Projects) Crew. They were small time hustlers but notorious nonetheless and involved in everything from robbery, extortion, drugs, and murders. All the petty hustling stopped when Carlton hooked up with the largest cocaine dealer on the East Coast. Carlton had two problems: he was getting high on his own supply, and there was a rival drug dealer and vicious killer named Carlos (Dawg) who reigned over his crew of killers out of Piedmont Circle Projects. Latrice, who is Carltons lady, was innocent and unfamiliar to the life of hustlers out of the hood. She had been raised by her grandmother with Christian upbringing and was well educated and spiritually grounded. She enjoyed the money, gifts, and luxuries that came with being Carltons lady, but she had no street knowledge and was naive to the game. She was not mentally or physically strong enough to handle the chaos that was about to change her life forever. The Code of the Hood takes place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and is full of drama, suspense, and excitement.
