Gentrification has come to Charlotte, and when twelve year old Roscoe Brown discovers that he and his family will be forced to move out of his beloved First Ward neighborhood, he feels betrayed and his world is instantly turned upside down. Roscoe is devastated that his all-black neighborhood will be razed to the ground, and when he buries his beloved cat down by the creek, just below the three-roomed, shot-gun shack where he lived, he prays that the cat will come back as a saber-toothed tiger to destroy the white people that will move into his old neighborhood. Maybe Roscoe shouldn’t have prayed for that!
