   Summary

   In March of 1986 Billy Hargrove stomps into the clearing behind the school looking for something to stop the pounding in his head. He expects to leave with a bag of God only knows what and an empty wallet. He doesn't expect to leave with an invite from Eddie "The Freak" Munson.

   Neither of them expects what unfolds from there.
