When Eli Cutler decides to rob a bank with a dynamite belt on, he comes unprepared for what happens next. The robbery doesn't go well, and he flees to a nearby teen shelter, the Hoffman House, where he takes six teen-aged boys hostage. News crews, helicopters, S.W.A.T. teams, Greek gods, alien invasions, and pizza clowns ensue, as Eli and the wayward boys get to know each other-and themselves-a little better.Underhanded dealings by a billionaire's son who's doped-up his dad; news reporters making their careers in the Big Markets; frustrated police captains and surveilling Federal agents; missing South Pacific island deeds and expensive jet airliners-all this and more as Eli and the boys try to figure out how to get out of Hoffman House alive.
