Elijah Foster is a witty, wise-cracking street kid who uses street smarts and gadgets to outwit and take down Chico and his gang. Eli was fed up with their bad behavior. Not only was Chico bulling his best friend, but they were planning to rob Mr. Joe's pawn shop. Not on Eli's watch Eli calls himself the "Little Drifter" because he idolizes Max Cordell aka "The Drifter."
Max Cordell had it all...a very lucrative career, two successful karate schools, and a beautiful wife and baby boy. Not bad for a kid who grew up in the ghetto Max never forgot his roots. He spent his life helping others-especially those from his old neighborhood. Life was good until he was falsely accused of a heinous crime, thrown into prison.
