Cedar River High has just taken on a new practice teacher who's envied and talked about by the entire school. Mr. Cartwright, a weightlifter and a football player in college, is everybody's idol—perfect muscles, handsome, and he knows it. But all those good looks don't make up for the damage he does around the school. Lexi Leighton watches as two of her friends make Mr. Cartwright their hero, then are manipulated into bad decisions. Lexi knew there was trouble brewing, but she never thought it would get this serious.
