Winter’s Bone meets The Wire in this edgy, soulful meditation on the meaning of love, the injustices of hate, and the power of hope.
Douglas “Deesh” Sharp has managed to stay out of trouble living in the Bronx, paying his rent by hauling junk for cash. But on the morning Deesh and two pals head upstate to dispose of a sealed oil drum whose contents smell and weigh enough to contain a human corpse, he becomes mixed up in a serious crime. When his plans for escape spiral terribly out of control, Deesh quickly finds himself a victim of betrayal—and the prime suspect in the murders of three white men.
When Douglas "Deesh" Sharp, who hauls junk for cash, heads upstate to dispose of a sealed oil drum, he unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in the murders of three white men, until he meets a female jockey who could save him from a life behind bars.

When Jan, a young jockey from the gritty underworld of the Finger Lakes racetrack breaks her silence about gambling and organized crime, Deesh learns how the story of her past might, against all odds, free him from a life behind bars.
Interweaving Deesh’s and Jan’s gripping narratives, Watch Me Go is a wonderfully insightful work that examines how we love, leave, lose, redeem, and strive for justice. At once compulsively readable, thought-provoking, and complex, it is a suspenseful, compassionate meditation on the power of love and the injustices of hate.
When Douglas "Deesh" Sharp, who hauls junk for cash, heads upstate to dispose of a sealed oil drum, he unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in the murders of three white men, until he meets a female jockey who could save him from a life behind bars.
