The Dooney brothers are used to the name-calling, the mocking, and all that comes with being the school's "poor family." In their leaky-roofed home, the brothers make plans to get out of the rut they were born in. Jaydon Reynolds is the rich kid at Carthage High. Jaydon's father, a successful banker, taught his boy that winning in life requires discipline, toughness, and ruthlessness. According to Jaydon's dad, if someone was poor, it was their fault, and they deserved no mercy. The preferred targets of Jaydon's mockery, the Dooney boys, represent all that is wrong with society in Jaydon's mind--a sentiment he regularly shares with his cronies. Mickey and Billy Dooney have grown immune to Jaydon's put-downs--white noise from a soft, rich kid. But when Jaydon pushes the Dooneys too far, the boys are forced to push back. The aftereffects will shock the county and change the lives of two families forever.
