description: There are millions of boys like Cal in high schools across America. He¹s got an okay family and some screwed up friends. He¹s not popular, but he¹s not unpopular, either. He¹s just there. But a reckless, inarticulate tension inside him is waiting for release, something he can¹t always control. He wants everything to go right and tries to do good when he can. When that doesn¹t work ­ he burns things. He destroys. He cries out and wonders if anyone hears.
