I'm supposed to be king of the school, but this crown is heavy . . .
Anton and his friends rule the school. The other kids steer clear when they're about and that's the way Anton likes it - he's got a reputation to live up to after all.
But when Matthew, the biggest loser in class, unexpectedly saves his life, Anton has a debt to repay. As he does, the boys strike up an unlikely friendship, and Anton soon finds himself questioning everything he thought was important. Does he really want ruling the school to be his crowning glory or should he set his sights on something bigger?
