Last year teenage Michael lived in Miami with his mother and abusive stepfather, Walker. This year he's a runaway--traveling with a carnival while his mother stands accused of murdering Walker. When the carnival returns to Miami, Michael is torn between remaining anonymous and telling the authorities what he knows about Walker's murder. The plot contains enough twists and turns to keep readers riveted.
