Publisher's Synopsis
It's time to break out...
The boys are determined to break out of prison, but they don't consider the frightening consequences of an attempt to make a run for it. When Tarvis arrives at Alpha Correctional Center, he ignites the plan that ringleader Jesse has been cooking up. Jesse's got the timeline and the contacts. Rick is on shiv-making detail, and Julius is the fire that fuels their hate. As the plan rolls out, their teacher, Caroline McBride, knows something is up, but she doesn't know what. The air is tense. At odds with the cruel deputy staff, she and William Bonner, the counselor-and her lover-hear the rumblings, but they can't stop the inevitable. The big blow up. The escape. But freedom is as elusive as a dream.
