Spoilers!
From what we know:
Tj and Ian were both involved in the same gang throughout their teenage-young adult years, with tj having more hierarchical influence than Ian (from what I gather)
In this gang they befriend a guy who later dies of cancer in one of the chapters, we also learn that throughout their time in the gang Ian gets SA’ed and eventually ends up killing someone (which drives him towards tj) and tj gets his face scar defending ian from a rival (i think) and ian seems to feel somewhat indebted to tj because of this. Throughout their series it’s obvious that tj wants to climb the ranks in his gang (hence him flirting with the girl in that one chapter) while ian wants to break away from that life because he is traumatized by it. This puts distance between the two because they have different end goals, we also learn that Jo’s cousin is somewhat involved in gang activity as well but for the most part he is not a major figure just yet.
thank you my savior
can someone give me a brief summary of the actual plot aside from the love triangle
