Calvin Johnston's secret is out. He and his brothers are tainted. Untouchable. And the bad blood flowing through their veins is threatening to kill them. So are some of their neighbors in Ashland, the "Friendliest Little Town" in Florida. The Johnston brothers are kicked out of everything, including school, baseball, scouts, and even church. Ashland's anger has erupted into a fireball of hate.

The only silver lining is that Calvin's best friend Izzy lives 65 miles away at the beach and has no idea about his secret. But news has a way of spreading. Calvin and his brothers are in the fight of their lives. As a matter of fact, they're fighting for life itself.
