Kyle Saint-Claire is everything Jonny Fehey wishes to be: a star on the soccer field, a straight-A student, and king of Millburn High's social ladder. Jonny unhappily accepts his position on a lesser rung, until fate steps in and Jonny scores the go-ahead goal in the county soccer championships...and it looks like he will finally make it into the popular crowd. But at the victory party, a classmate is raped and Jonny's world begins to unravel. Through years of friendship, Kyle and Jonny have always stood up for one another, but suddenly all of the training, pain, and dedication have become meaningless as their friendship is tested to the breaking point. Exciting sports action and a misguided sense of justice combine in a suspenseful tale of popularity and entitlement—and an ending that Jonny never saw coming.
