Sportcoat is the old drunk, a deacon at the Five Ends Baptist Church. He shots a young drug dealer in his neighborhood. A kid he used to teach in Sunday school and coached on a baseball team. He is so drunk at the time, he has no memory of the shooting. Deems, the young dealer, lives and puts off taking his revenge. But Sportcoat has kicked off a chain reaction involving the church, neighborhood history, the Italian mob and the new drug trade kings. Funny and yet serious at times, this story shows the relationships and tells the history of the neighborhood around a New York housing project. Captivating.
