Victor and Riley are described as having public reputations that contradict who they really are.
Victor is involved in a violent street gang, leads it at seventeen, and is flunking out of high school.

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
