description: Danny Fisher grew up on New York's lower East Side, an ugly world of switchblades, prostitutes and mobsters. He learned about life from girls like Ronnie, who had sold her body and her pride; from cheap, ruthless crooks like Maxie Fields; and from an ex-pug named Sam, who wanted to make Danny a Golden Gloves champion.Deep down, Danny was a good boy driven to dishonesty by poverty and ambition. Danny knew only one law:Take what you want!
