After a judge determines Reef guilty, he is sentenced to a group rehab home and volunteer work at a rehab hospital. At the start, Reef is still closed to the world, but after a mysterious patient at the hospital and a helpful Alex in the group home help draw his real potential out and dust it off, Reef becomes a completely new person. But will that help him survive the shock of who the rehab patient is?

THE MOST AMAZING BOOK!! IT has such a good story and the author is FANTASTIC! He describes everything and packs so much action into the book, all the while keeping the deeper meaning apparent, and the book is so honest. I'm in love with the book, and my heart immediately went out to the people in the book. It is the most fantastic book I have read in a long time-but I'll stop gushing now!
