description: Joe thought Davey was the one who would make it. Davey had the smarts and he had a golden arm, shooting hoops like nobody's business. Joe's other brother, Paul, had been golden once, painting pictures so beautiful you wanted to crawl into them. Now he didn't have time to paint. All he could do was keep pumping drugs into his arm. But Joe's mother still loved Paul - loved him to the exclusion of everything else, including Joe and Davey. Joe had a plan to hold the family together, and to give Davey the one break he needed. Then something happened that changed all their lives, and took one life away.
