Told in alternation voices, teenage Crystal discovers Aaron, the charismatic new boy in school, has a dark and violent secret.
Aaron Fortin is new in town. He drives a brand-new Acura--a gift from his parents for uprooting him in the middle of senior year, Showing up on his first day at the local public school in that nice of a car, he knows he'll never blend in, and he doesn't care to try. The car, the new kid mystique--he can use all that. Crystal Giordano carpools to the same school in her friend Trevor's beat-up van. In the van along with Crystal and Trevor are Paul, Harmony, and Gayle. Crystal's a part of their misfit group, but most of the time, she feels like she's the only one who doesn't. When Aaron sits at their lunch table, Crystal can see he's not who he appears to be. But how big of a fraud is he? When she discovers who he truly is, it's so much worse than she thought. As her friends begin to follow him one by one, Crystal wonders if she can protect them or if his influence is just too strong.
