description: After killing his abusive foster father and a teenager who tried to rape him, Antietam (Andy) Brown was sent away to reform school at the age of ten. Seven years later, he has returned to a new, free life at Conestoga High School. But he is thrown into the violent and debauched life of his real father, which consists of beer-swilling, body-building, and serial fornication. Still, there is hope. He is pursued by the local homecoming queen, a born-again Christian, and he discovers his father's hidden cache of books on esoteric subjects - a sign, perhaps, of hidden depths. Driven to prove himself pure to his new girlfriend, uncertain whether he and his father are monsters or heroes, Antietam must search for the truth.
