Last year, Wyatt Palmer was the hero of middle school, having foiled a
plot against the president of the United States. But now he and his
friends are in Coral Cove High School--home of the Fighting Conchs--and
Wyatt is no longer a hero: He's just another undersized freshman, hoping
to fit in, or at least not be unpopular. Things start to go wrong when
Matt Diaz, who is Wyatt's best friend but also unfortunately an idiot,
decides to bring his pet ferret, Frank, to school. Through an
unfortunate series of events Frank ends up in the hands of the Bevin
brothers, who are the most popular boys at Coral Cove High, but are
also, as Matt soon discovers, the nastiest. When Wyatt and Matt try to
get Frank back, they concoct a plan to attend a party for the cool
clique at the Bevin's waterfront mansion and stumble onto the Bevin
family's dark and deadly secret. That's when Wyatt learns that some
things are worse than being unpopular in high school. MUCH worse.
