Bold highschool senior Samantha Hodges is a critical journalist, each for the varsity paper and for the yearbook, however she's simply as critical about her mates, Nate, Gillian, and Rudy, all of whom are vying together with her for a full-ride native scholarship to school. Very near her mom, Emily, who's the varsity's steerage counselor, Samantha finds her reporting taking an investigative flip when two of her classmates--and contenders for the scholarship--are murdered.
