He started a half way house and has chosen these three boys to try a second time at life....under some..conditions. They cant leave the apartment with out him. They cant leave school unless he is with them. They must attend all of the group therapy sessions and got to community service. They have to keep the apartment clean. Keep grades up and no extra curricular activities. And they cook dinner.
But when Terence, the constant worry of the group, wants nothing but freedom, things go horribly wrong. Terence tries to escape in the middle of the night so he can go find a gang to join. But when Gecko and Arjay try to stop him out on the fire escape, things get loud. Loud enough to wake up a sleeping Healy and pull him into the mess on the fire escape. During the struggle Healy is pushed off the side of the fire escape and the boys take him to the hospital. They take his ID so he can't be identified and they can't get in trouble.
Gecko visits him in the hospital everyday with his fake volunteer badge that reads the name Gecko Smith. Thats when he meets Roxanne, a girl with a rich dad and a beautiful heart. But when things start spiraling out of control they lose contact. Gecko stops going to the hospital. until one day when he finds out that Healy has been transfered to a mental hospital. He has no idea who he is or where he's from. No one but the half way house boys know who he is and if they say so, they all get caught. the only thing they can do is bust him out. And they have a plan. Does it succeed? Will Healy ever remember? And if he does will he cover for them? Will the boys be forced back into juvie? Or will all the wrong things they've done while trying to get Healy back, prove to be the right things?
Guess you'll have to read the book to find out! ;)
