After a rough summer, Rafe is heading back to the dreaded Hills Village Middle School, the site of the very worst years of his life.

Rafe and the rest of the pack of 'delinquent' trainees are forced to cooperate as they prepare for the final test: a solo excursion in the deep woods.
Can Rafe come out of the experience in one piece? And if he does, will anyone recognise him as the kid they once knew?
