As the school tries to deal with the shock, Todd's death sets into motion a series of events that drastically changes the lives of two kids who were not nearly popular enough to be Todd's friends: Bob and Pete. Bob is faced with the chance to join the ranks of the superior crowd when the girl of his dreams, the popular Ellen Trumbull, enters his life. The problem is, she's the girl of Pete's dreams, too. Does Bob follow his heart or stick with his best friend? Does change mean the end of everything? If they could ask Todd Woods, maybe he could tell them.
