Antoni Battista has spent his life in Chicago, shuffled from one foster home to another, and getting into more and more trouble as he grew older. However, after surviving a drive-by shooting -- in which he is an innocent victim -- Tony is unexpectedly given a chance at a new start. There's just one catch; he's sent to a very strict foster home in a small town. Tony is determined to stay out of trouble for the next few months when he will graduate and turn eighteen. However, a series of robberies begin just after his arrival in Coralville, making his foster parents suspicious. A murder at the school appears to be the final blow to Tony's second chance... until he, quite literally, runs into the sheriff... The Good People of Coralville is a three-part interwoven story (complete in one volume) about Tony's life in Coralville.
