Cub reporter Kris Dillman is excited about the prospect of covering Rush Ramond, Jefferson High’s superstar basketball player who is due to be the first junior selected in the NBA draft.

And while negotiating this treacherous terrain, Kris learns about media hypocrisy, bigotry and accountability; public relations hype, manipulation and intimidation; and how a simple news tip can lead to murder.
