High school football player Brock Ripley understands the perks of being in the circle of quarterback (and vicious bully) Hunter Gates. But Brock's new friend Richie Fang is Hunter's victim. Does Brock have the guts to stand up for a friend? Sports action plays second string to Deuker's gritty depiction of the dark side of high school athletics and gun violence.
