When Uncle Spade, an unemployed drifter, saves twelve-year-old Wyatt Reaves from his neglectful parents, Wyatt thinks he's found a real home. But all Spade sees in Wyatt is a potential meal ticket: a taller-than-average kid with a mean punch who could become a bare-fist fighting champion with the proper training. By the time Wyatt is fourteen, he can win any fight-but that doesn't mean he enjoys it. How can he break away from his uncle when Spade is the only family who's ever really cared for him?
