His Only Begotten Son - V. Phillips

His Only Begotten Son” is a faith-based fiction story that blends the gritty, street ball reality of “Above The Rim” with “The Hurricane’s” one-man struggle for release from prison.

When college basketball sensation DeAndre Harris lands in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, he must make the transition from schoolboy to thug before he is swallowed whole by the belly of the beast.

DeAndre finds himself in over his head when Gator, the hoodlum that runs the prison’s underworld, forces him to play basketball games for money. Desperate for a way out, DeAndre turns to Preach, a middle-aged con who walks by faith but fights like a demon.

What begins as an unlikely friendship between a young man and his mentor, blossoms into a father/Son bond that turns out to be all too real.  

Together Preach and DeAndre must fight not only the prison confining them, but the bloodthirsty wolves they are housed with, to gain their freedom and salvation.
