This is the story of Black Wall Street entrepreneur Griffin "Griffie" Brawley, a man destined never to be called an entrepreneur (as he put it - "Griffin's not in the corporation game").

Brawley is a likable and often entertaining character who trades on the peculiarities of New York City pecking order that has less to do with color than proximity to City Hall, where there's money to be made or spent.

In the world of petty racketeering and black market deal making, Brawley sees himself as a Weavers Guild craftsman rather than a mosquito-bashing exterminator. Life among his overlookedlubricity and Seminole customers allows him to work within the system while gaining a neat little profit. His quarrelsome nature causes friction with his wife, while he pushes his kids along without ever getting really excited about them.
