He was focused, talented ... violent. Carter didn't join the football team to make friends or win championships. He didn't care about anything but taking a starting spot, earning a scholarship, and leaving his abusive stepfather. Until he met Sara and Ben. Ben was desperate to fit in, desperate for the same starting spot, and desperate for the same girl. The initiation set the uneasy friends on a collision course that would change everything.
