A search shaped by first love and loss
Vinnie II-Cazzo is accustomed to short cons, but meeting Steph Baker at 12 changes the stakes. When Steph and her family flee domestic violence, their brief romance becomes the starting point for Vinnie’s long effort to find her again. The description frames that search against a life of hustling and self-deception, with the title’s “long game” pointing both to his pursuit of Steph and to the personal cost of the choices he makes. Inspired by true events, the story brings together young love, family upheaval, and the consequences of treating life like a con.
