Miles Hunter, a boy from the inner city of Chicago, lands a full scholarship to a prestigious university in Washington State. After bouncing from one abusive foster home after another, sleeping under park bridges, and eating out of garbage cans, he plans to achieve great heights in this new chapter. Upon arriving to school, things quickly turn for the worst: with campus murders, a race riot, and a secret love affair with a popular guy on campus, it takes Miles down a deep, dark, twisted path of betrayal and deceit. Throughout his journey, he discovers earth shattering secrets about his past and realizes things are more complex and connected than what is above the surface. In the end, he learns who he is, who his friends are, what love is, and the roles people play in his life; both good and bad, and the meaning of his reoccurring dream of sapphire.
