Things don't usually come to a screeching halt at the RAT, also known as Ridgewood Arts & Technical School, Ridgewood City's most prestigious progressive institution. But that's what happens when Headmistress Hardaway interrupts class and announces, "A scandal has rocked the fundraising committee!" Everyone's a suspect and Hunter Jackson, student council special investigator, vows to root out the student who's heartless enough to steal donation money or die a death of a thousand forensic notes trying. He's not alone. Ridgewood Roar news editor, Anthony Ravello, and the rogue, indie-press pioneer, Liberty Lennon, plan to do some journalistic digging of their own in a race against each other to scoop the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to their faithful readers...or at least their versions of it. With the truth getting murkier by the day, all students at the RAT can do is gobble up news bytes and wash them down with locker-side gossip as they try to unmask the classmate responsible for the missing funds.
