"Chill's foot dragged behind him like a murder victim being taken to a shallow grave by a killer too weak to do the job-but he still stood straighter than any other kid in school." CHILL HAS ALWAYS BEEN different, but the way he deals with his disability, and his art, have given him the power to survive the horrors of high school. When a new teacher arrives, determined to crush his students' spirit, Chill decides to fight back and risk everything....

When an impulsive carjacking becomes and accidental kidnapping, Griffin, a high school dropout, finds himself more in sympathy with his wealthy, blind victim, sixteen-year-old Cheyenne, than with his greedy father.
