“The Jockey” is back and Alex, who acts tough with the high school seniors, is afraid—expecting revenge for his part in informing the police of The Jockey’s planned robbery. But The Jockey assures Alex he is his big “Bro” and will teach him to “spit” his “fears in the eye.” They will spend a weekend in the “wilderness” of the city surviving on their “wits” (52). In one terrible night, Alex discovers the falsehoods behind his teacher’s plans. He learns what it really means to stand up for oneself and to trust the girl who is truly his friend. hc
