In the wake of the Halloween lock-in, a rift has opened among the friends, brought about by Mark's inability to be honest with them, as well as himself. Todd reaches out to Blake and Clay, and a stronger friendship is forged. Mark misses his boyfriend, but even more so when a new student named Taylor arrives on the scene, and it appears that Taylor and Todd might be more than just friends. Clay's about to turn nineteen and his father is throwing a party--one he fully intends to wriggle out of, until Travis invites all his friends and he's caught. An uninvited guest brings out a side of Clay nobody knew existed, one that threatens to shake the peace of New Liberty.
