     Brooklyn Looper is an emotional story about two Brooklyn high school basketball players. Frankie Morelli, son of a degenerate gambler and part-time dad, teams up with Eddie Mullaney, a straight-shooting, intelligent "gym rat" basketball star, who spends most of his time working as a caddy at a Long Island golf course or honing his basketball skills at the playground or the school gym. The two meet at basketball camp when they are about thirteen years old and embark on a friendship that will take readers back to their high school days where they will recall that friend who no matter what never lets you down.
     Frankie starts out as a small-time local high school bookie until a high-profile Mob captain leaves him no choice but to expand his enterprise into a world that "All American Eddie" tries to steer clear of.
     Brooklyn Looper is a strange combination of temptation and loyalty, where Morelli does everything he can to test the guts of Mullaney. The situation the two are about to face will change their lives forever. It will make you realize that good friendships are not so easy to come by and the best ones are even tougher.
