Marc's only job was to keep an eye on his worst enemy, Kip Pulman and make sure the rest of the school didn't murder him. All while trying to attract the attention of the girl of his dreams, Christie Claythorne. Christie Claythorne is afraid of men. After years of relentless torture at the hands of Kip Pulman she would do anything to escape the deadbeat suburb of Astwright. Armed with her intellect and a plethora of Agatha Christie novels, she waits. When Kip Pulman dies on a drama excursion Marc and Christie are drawn together with only a fifty dollar bill and a few crime scene photographs as clues. Together they hope to bring justice to the boy they once hated (even though Marc believes that hate is a strong word). Hopefully they both get out alive and Marc will win over the girl of his dreams.
