Harry Jensen is tall and skinny, he's got huge feet, and he's second in his class. He is not, as you might expect, one of the popular people, unlike his best friend Kerry, who is not only first in their class, but also an All-State shortstop.

And then, in the summer before his junior year, while shooting hoops in his driveway, Harry discovers that he can sink a jump hook time after time. He still can't dribble, his jump shots are bricks, and he's still skinny as cornstalk, but those are things he can change. All it takes is hard work and the same sort of determination he's poured into his studies. Suddenly he has a new goal: making the Jayvees.

Then one night Kerry discovers a web site showing two guys who have always been outcasts in the high school. Both of them are carrying guns, but worse, are the threats they make. While most of the kids think it's all just bluster and bluff, nothing more than some sick joke, Harry takes the threat seriously.

The more he discovers, the more certain he is that this group poses a real danger to the kids in the school. But not even the cops believe that. They think it is nothing more than the work of a bunch of braggarts.

One morning in November they find out.
