Known as "Snowball" on the street, he makes a living as the bartender at a mobrun speakeasy in Prohibitionera Hell’s Kitchen. Being neither black nor white, he has no group to call his own. His own mother abandoned him as a baby.
And his fathera former boxing champ with his own secretsdisapproves of Jersey’s work at a dive owned by one of New York’s most notorious gangsters.
So when he inadvertently purchases counterfeit moonshine ("sugar pop moon") with his boss’s money—a potentially fatal mistake—he must go undercover to track down the bootlegger who took him in. The clues lead to Philadelphia, where he runs into a cleaverswinging madman out for his femurs and a coldblooded gangster holed up on a Christmastree farm. Now with a price on his head in two cities, Jersey seeks help from the only man he can trust, his father.
As the two delve into the origins of the mysterious sugar pop moon, stunning secrets about Jersey’s past come to light. To ensure his future, Jersey must face his past, even if it means that life will never return to normal.
