Summer camper Andy finds himself falling under the influence of Johnny, a reckless counselor. Andy is presented with a moral dilemma when he learns that Johnny was involved in an altercation with another counselor, who then dies in an apparent drowning. The sense of impending doom in this dark coming-of-age novel will keep the reader engaged to the end.
