Leon's future is no longer certain.
After a freak accident on the track, everything changes for Leon Kline, anchor of Gilburn High's 4x100 sprint relay team. Suddenly his future is gone. No scholarship, no college. When he meets sassy and straight-talking Casey De Vries, life doesn't look so bleak. She even gets him running again. But as he gets to know Casey better, he realizes something is not quite right. How can he help her if she won't tell him what's going on?
