This book is about rage and release. It's about feeling your life is out of control. It's about knowing that if one more thing goes wrong, it will push you over the edge. It is about what you do to calm yourself - what you do to let out the demons. You find refuge in your friends. You try to find someone to love, or at least like for a while. You push yourself to the limit. And if that doesn't work, you burn things. You destroy things, You cry out and wonder if anyone hears. There are millions of boys like Cal in high schools across America. He's got an okay family and some screwed up friends. He wants everything to go right and tries to do good when he can. He's neither popular or unpopular. He's just there, and there is an inarticulate tension inside him, awaiting release.
