Trinity School is having a chocolate sale but the implications go far beyond the selling of sweets to raise money. The Vigils that run Trinity has anded with the power hungry Brother Leon to make it a record breaking fundraiser. And for Jerry to resist the Vigils could cost him his life.
Intimidation at a prep school, good and evil in high school - good does not always win out in the end - the themes of adolescence in a 1974 novel that still applies.
