"I want you to be a part of the Anti-Delinquent System." Mr Blythe paces backwards and forth in his office, his expression solemn. "We have five students in this school who have given us a bad reputation, and I want you to help us bring them down. I'm asking you, to catch them in their bad ways. I want you to expose them for their tricks: the ones they've got away with in the past. Only once these five students are removed can Lindale High become a place where education is an accessible opportunity for everyone." Erika Monroe is being recruited to bring down the mysterious Chase Thatcher. Her job? To catch him in the act of something bad, and give the Principal an excuse to expel him. Erika has never been one to turn down an opportunity which could get her a good word for a scholarship, but this time, she's unsure. What if, by trying to catch Chase out, she finds herself caught by surprise? Maybe, the newfound delinquent doesn't need to be tamed. Maybe, he just needs to be saved.
