Well, nothing like a dirty deed to catch your attention! And this adult novel starts off getting your attention! A private school headmaster sits down to watch a videotape an office worker slips him. And, wow, what a tape. It shows some members of the school's basketball team having sex with a freshman girl. And thus begins the testimony.
Each chapter is a from someone's point-of-view and we gradually learn what happens. The sex tape is the center of the story, but, because of it, many lives are ruined. Two divorces, one suicide, lost scholarships, and a lot else. I really loved Rob's take on things at the end of the book. He wondered why they were never told that having sex with a freshman was illegal. Good point, Rob! Why don't we tell students this? Do the 18-year-old students at Paris High School really know this?
Of course, there are many other back stories going on in the novel, and it all makes for great drama.
