A wild party ends with a scream in the night, and a terrified town cries out for vengeance. Alan Grover had to turn his back on Matt Prior's friendship several years ago. The social misfit had become an embarrassment -- maybe even dangerous. But when Matt flees the scene of an apparent assault and attempted rape, Alan is the only person who refuses to believe that he is guilty. With Matt now in hiding, vowing to wage war on the town he's always hated, and the once-decent citizens transformed into unhinged vigilantes, Alan must finally find an answer to the question -- where exactly do his loyalties lie?
