Pauline Perron

It is the late 1940s and the last summer before Toby Cerino, leader of the One-eyed Jacks, graduates and enlists in the service. He plans to hang out with his buddies all summer, but fate has other ideas. When it was over, he would have fallen in love with Mila, almost died at the hands of his enemy, Red Flannery, who is leader of the Comets, lose one of his closest friends, and when he seeks revenge, lose Mila because of who he was, leaving him to decide whether to go on with his life as planned, or change.
