Will knows the Rules: No Crying, No Snitching, and Get Revenge. When his brother is shot and killed, Will knows he should follow those Rules. He doesn't cry, he doesn't snitch (even though he knows who did it), and he grabs the gun from his brother's dresser drawer and vows revenge.
LONG WAY DOWN is the story of Will's elevator ride to revenge the death of his brother. Just seven floors down, but he is visited by the ghosts of significant friends and family members who were also shot and killed. Their words of wisdom will hopefully help Will know the right direction to take once he reaches the lobby.
