KARMA refers to the totality of an individual’s deeds – good and bad – in their past, present, and future life. These actions, therefore, determine one’s fate... Jahmiyl better known as Jah has had a clean break from street life for nearly a decade. Once a well-known dope boy husting the streets of Chicago's South Side, an uneventful night of murder forces him to reconsider street life. Ten years out of the game, Jah starts having recurring nightmares, recounting that night that he and his partner-in-crime, his twin brother, committed some atrocious acts. And while he seems to be living a normal life now, he hopes that the ghosts from his past don’t pay him a visit. However, Jah will soon realize karma possesses an infinite number of ways of manifesting. First, he encounters petty drama from a past romantic interest at his job which leads to him getting fired. Then his brother, Luqman, or Luq, is released early from prison, but under unclear circumstances. Although Jah loves his brother and wants the best for him, Jah knows that Luq’s energy is not in the right place and he fears his brother will return to the streets, possibly pulling him right back into the midst of madness. After Jah is forced to quickly find a new job, a good friend, Mark, who too used to be deep in the streets, offers Jah the possibility to partner up to make some quick, fast money. Jah is reluctant and opts to get another “normal” job. Meanwhile, Jah is starting college classes and meets Bree, someone who catches the fancy of his eye. But just when Jah seems to be staying afloat, he eventually finds himself ensnared in another round of work-related drama. He’s fired again and now his back is up against the wall. Feeling under pressure, Jah gives in to the temptation of making easy money with Mark. This decision though he may end up regretting. While Jah has a plan to “get in and get out”, he quickly finds himself caught up in beef that almost costs him his life. And now that he knows there’s a target on his back, he’s compelled to seek out those who tried to get at him. But in his mission of revenge, Jah will soon realize that there is a heavy price to pay for retribution. And that’s because karma isn’t done with him yet… Read more in THUG KARMA by QUAN MILLZ, one of the most prolific, best-selling African-American Urban Fiction authors to date!
