Addison Schacht has much to worry about in his senior year of high school, such as getting to school on time, selling pot to his classmates, and trying to navigate his relationship with his friend — not girlfriend — Digger. Summer is rapidly approaching as is the deadline for his college entry essay to the University of Chicago. However, how can he pay attention to such a trivial task when one of his classmates, Kevin Broadus, was murdered in a seemingly absurd shooting? Addison can’t help but begin on an obsessive search for the perpetrators and justice.

Addison Schacht tiene mucho de qué preocuparse en su último año de preparatoria. Cosas del día a día, tales como ir a la escuela, menudear droga a sus compañeros de clase y entender qué diablos quiere en la vida Phoebe, su mejor amiga (ojo, sólo es su amiga). El verano está próximo y la fecha de entrega para el ensayo de aptitudes que debe remitir a la Universidad de Chicago está ya próxima. Pero ¿cómo poner atención a tan irrelevante tarea cuando uno de sus compañeros, Kevin Broadus, ha muerto víctima de un aparentemente absurdo tiroteo? Addison utiliza entonces el pretexto del ensayo para regalarnos el presente libro, una obsesiva búsqueda del culpable y de justicia que es, a la vez, un entrañable chapuzón directo a la psique del postadolescente moderno.
