Luther T. Farrell’s mother, aka the Sarge, owns real estate throughout Flint, Michigan. With the help of her boyfriend, Darnell Dixon, she strong-arms vulnerable residents out of money. As the Sarge schools fifteen-year-old Luther in her underhanded business practices, Luther struggles to escape her control and follow his dream to become "America’s best-known, best-loved, best-paid philosopher."
