Basketball loving ninth grader Matt Wainwright has been best friends with the girl next door since grade school. He wants to tell Tabby how he really feels about her but can’t ever seem to bring himself to do it. Then she starts dating a senior on the varsity basketball team. Liam is a great guy, but Matt, who plays JV, can’t stop hating him. His anger even affects his game and jeopardizes his spot on the team. When a horrific accident happens, Matt’s downslide hits high speed. He needs to get himself under control before he hurts everyone he loves and loses everything that matters.
