Westside Incident
Gripping. Gritty. Gut-wrenching.
In the decaying shadows of Gary, Indiana, two boys find more than mischief-they find trauma, violence, and the first sparks of something much darker.
James and Randle grew up across the street from each other, best friends forged in a forgotten neighborhood where freight trains rumble through rusted factories and secrets rot beneath the surface. Their childhood is carved out of risk-train hopping, scavenging, and games that push boundaries. But when they stumble upon a discarded revolver, their world tilts.
What begins as reckless fun spirals into an unimaginable night of bloodshed, broken trust, and a decision that will change the course of their lives forever. James is forced to leave. Randle stays-and festers.
Eighteen years later, one of them has rebuilt his life as a teacher and mentor. The other has become a ghost in the system. But the past never stays buried. Especially when the sins of childhood were soaked in blood.
Taut, emotional, and unflinching, Westside Incident is a powerful coming-of-age thriller about friendship shattered by violence, the scars of trauma, and how far a boy will go to escape-or embrace-his demons.
If you liked American Rust, Boy A, or The Outsiders, you'll be haunted by Westside Incident.
