He might become the next small town hero with stars in his eyes... and a monster in his veins. Good has a dark side. 
    
    Evan Mack's football coach will do anything to win. He has the formula for success that took last year's starting quarterback, Xavier Rhodes, to the state championship and beyond. If Evan participates in the coach's secret fitness and diet program, money and fame, and even his high school crush, the girl of his dreams, Lexa Thorn, will be his for the taking. By winning all the big games, he could become a small town hero. But having your dreams come true, comes with a price, a dark side. Austin Campbell, this year's starting quarterback was found dead under mysterious circumstances, opening up the starting position for Evan. Rumors circulate that his death wasn't an accident as the police reports claimed. There could be a murderer lurking in their small town. Evan's greatest fear is monsters in the dark. The last thing he expects is to become the Monster in the dark. Problem is, that monster wants out, no matter how hard he tries to keep it locked in its cage. And when it comes out, no one is safe, not even the girl of his dreams, or the other girl-next-door with the glasses and straight A's who happens to think the world of him.
