The narrator of the story, Mosquito, is invited to be a part of the gang after a silly fight over a chicken leg.

However, Mosquito soon discovers that in this violent world things aren't always what they seem. When a group of mainlanders attempt to take over Monga, the fragile balance over the district's turf is threatened, friendship is tested, and loyalty is questioned.
