Description: Danny Lopez is new in town. He made a
mistake back home in Las Vegas, and now he has landed at an experimental school
in Colorado for “tough cases.” At the Cobalt Charter School, everything is
scripted—what the teachers say, what the students reply—and no other speaking
is allowed. This supercontrolled environment gives kids a second chance to make
something of themselves. But with few freedoms, the students become sitting
ducks for a killer determined to “clean up” Colorado Springs.
