Kurt and Annie have been dealing enormous quantities of pot, living like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. Only now, they've got two kids to take care of and the game has gotten far more dangerous. Annie is desperate to go legit, and the novel begins when Kurt, forever promising to make this trip his last, gets busted big-time by the DEA. It's unclear how much evidence they have, but Kurt won't risk life without parole and tries to convince Annie to take the kids and go on the lam with him. Staying behind and vulnerable, Annie becomes an easy target for DEA agent Joseph Kessler, who first sees Annie and her young sons as the bait to bringing Kurt in, but finds himself falling in love with her as she offers a kind of balm for his own broken life.

Set in a war-zone housing project known as Dodge City and in the infamous Washington, D.C., city jail, Slam tells the story of Ray Joshua, a talented young poet, and rapper who is busted on petty drug charges and sucked into the black hole of the criminal justice system. In jail, Ray meets Lauren, a volunteer teaching a writing class for the prisoners.
