Juvenile sexual abuse and volleyball form the backdrop to a story about parental greed and lies as a teenage boy and a girl with a shared past fight for their own independence and truth. 11th grader Peter Bain, an accused liar and community pariah, discovers that his late great-aunt has left him secret financial resources-and a mission. Encouraged, Peter successfully goes out for volleyball, the one sport that his father has absolutely forbade him to play. Then he meets Marty, a girl who lives by lying. Finding Peter, in turn, gives Marty the courage to free herself from her own sexual abuser, setting in motion deadly events that lead to a climax in a district justice's courtroom.
