. . . The thing with Mr. Tracy, Darren's English teacher. The thing that was vague and not-named. The thing that hadn't happened, anyway. (Had it?)
North Falls swim team member Darren Flynn is a guy's guy, a jock. He "shows promise" and has integrity in the classroom -- just ask his teachers. He's shy, but sexy. Just ask the girls who are drawn to him like moths to a flame.
Darren Flynn is something different to everyone he encounters, and that's fine by him. Until something disturbing, something ambiguous happens that rocks Darren to the core, making him wonder: Who is Darren Flynn?
