"Brad Klein is a 16-year-old with lots of problems. His family has just moved from a city to a small town, forcing him to change schools for the second semester of the school year, and it looks like he'll never make friends or fit in. Jodie Reed seems to be friendly. Living with Dad has gone from bad to worse. But the big thing always in the back of Brad's mind is the recent death of his best friend in a snowmobile accident, an accident Brad feels responsible for."
