Opis

Spencer Patrick is still recovering from the loss of his father who died at Sea under peculiar circumstances. When his new High School Principal summons Spencer to his office on the first day of school, the boy quickly realizes that his already off-kilter life is ready to take another drastic turn---and one not for the better Detained, threatened, and accused of grievous crimes that he did not commit, the boy must summon up all of his depleted energy to deal with a man who has been placed in a position of authority and who relishes using all of it to his best advantage. As Spencer struggles with the man's escalating hostility, he is granted a short reprieve when he is whisked off Brier Island to the big city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Once there, however, what appeared to be a fabulous new opportunity for himself and for his mother soon turns into a cat and mouse game of wits with a gang of murderers who seem to have a strong connection to events taking place on Brier Island. As their dreams of experiencing an 'amazing all expenses paid weekend' vanish in a series of orchestrated attacks against them, Spencer and his mother must quickly decide on who they can trust to help them get back home safely. In a frantic race against time, Spencer must go head-to-head against men who will do anything to achieve their objectives. Can he succeed? Or will he end up suffering the same fate that his father did
