On his nineteenth birthday, Danny Phasho wakes up in South Bran with summer classes, music ambitions, neighborhood responsibilities, complicated relationships, and more money within reach than he knows how to handle. Then a birthday gift from his father turns an ordinary Thursday into a day of temptation, bad ideas, old friendships, unexpected danger, and choices that reveal exactly who Danny is becoming.

Set in Melanon City in 2013, HBD Danny Phasho is a coming-of-age story about youth, desire, friendship, ambition, and the thin line between having fun and changing your life.
