High school is hard enough…but for Travis Hunter, surviving the captain of the football team wanting to knock his teeth out and the school's feared principal breathing down his neck, is nothing compared to trying to stop a soviet spy from stealing NATO secrets…all while on a field trip to Washington D.C. 1983 - Michael Jackson is at his prime, Star Wars is filling the big screen, and all the while the cold war is bubbling below the surface. Any moment that bubble could burst, leaving nothing but a nuclear holocaust behind. The best spies in the world work tirelessly to give their country the advantage and keep the world in one piece, and yet it's a boy, a mere teenager who doesn't even have his driver's license yet, who will decide the fate of billions. Trust and mistrust blur as Hunter stumbles his way through the day. His only hope is that the feeling can guide him down the right path. The fate of the world may rest on a feeling that Hunter has yet to master or even fully understand. A feeling, it turns out, he may not be alone in having.
