Seventeen year old James Castle Jr. has rugby to deal with the pressures of high school. Fights with his girlfriend, his dad's constant blame game and graduation anxieties all work out on the field. Every pass, tackle and scrum works out a kink. That is until rugby gets suspended. Without an outlet James has no idea how to do with the feelings of fear plaguing him since the break-in at home. Now on top of the fear James keeps seeing a little girl with pigtails everywhere. Great, he can add delusional to the list of shit he can't deal with. What makes the situation worse, is this little girl looks a lot like the new girl Claudia. He can't explain the connection he feels to Claudia, it's not lust or friendship, but it's there. And everything circles around one event; a hit and run accident he was the victim of fourteen years ago. An accident he doesn't remember. An accident his father never told him about. An accident that wasn't in fact an accident. It seems someone from his father's past is hellbent on revenge and this time they plan to make sure James is dead. James will have to remember the past or else be caught in a killer's crosshairs.
