Sinossi
Sudhir Venkatesh, il giovane sociologo divenuto famoso in Freakonomics (Perché gli spacciatori vivono ancora con le loro mamme?), racconta il periodo trascorso con le gang del Southside di Chicago e risponde a un'altra domanda: com'è vivere all'inferno? Nei progetti Robert Taylor Homes nel South Side di Chicago, Sudhir fa amicizia con JT, un capo gang dei Black Kings. Mentre guadagna lentamente la fiducia di JT, un giorno, per convincere Sudhir delle sue qualità da CEO, JT lo nomina capo gang. Perché JT fa sì che i suoi scagnozzi, i ''piccoli'', restino a scuola? Qual è la differenza tra un truffatore ''normale'' e un ''hype'' - e Peanut gli sta dicendo la verità su cui sta dicendo? E, quando l'FBI inizia finalmente a reprimere i Black Kings, è il momento di andarsene - o è troppo tardi?
