The Paul Street Boys

The battlefIeld Is only a vacant lot. But to them, It  Is everything.

In the heart of Budapest, a ragtag band of schoolboys—the Paul Street Boys—defend their cherished “grund,” a dusty patch of land that is their fortress, their treasure, their world. When the Redshirts, a rival gang, launch an ambitious campaign to seize it, play turns to war.
