In an uptight private school where the teachers rule with an iron fist order gets unraveled when a student breaks the rules. He doesn't actually break any written rules, but the unspoken rules of both the school and the gang of students that actually governs the school. A secret society called the Vigils have quietly run the school since it began. The students that make up the group are the leaders of their society, and of those around them. When a teacher has the opportunity to become the dean of the school if he creates enough sales in the school's annual chocolate sale, he turns to the Vigils for help. The Vigils begin creating assignments for each student to follow in complete secrecy. When a task falls on the main character and protagonist, Jerry, he follows the orders without hesitation. However, when the task is supposed to end, Jerry doesn't quit. When they order him to quit the task, he refuses the order. One simple word - "no" - begins a full out war within the school.
I don't say this about very many books, but I hated it. I felt that the characters were underdeveloped and so was the plot. It built up to the climax the entire time and then there never really was one. It was a big let down and I would not recommend it.
