“Everything teenagers do seems silly when you have a family and a mortgage,” Jen said, “but to us, it’s life or death.”

Aaron has been in love with Jen for eight years. The problem is, he lives on the Navajo Reservation, which means nobody believes he has a future. She’s a popular preppy-turned-alternative girl being courted by several universities, hanging with her boyfriend, and living up the nineties. But when a werewolf disrupts a teenage bonfire, Aaron and Jen bond, and because of that bond, Aaron’s best friend, Mike, is bitten by the wolf.

A beautiful drifter will come to town and promise to prepare Mike for what is coming in four weeks. Jen and Aaron will get closer, much to the dismay of Mike, her boyfriend, and her entire social circle. The two of them must race against the moon to find a cure as innocent people are brutally slaughtered. They will have to face social persecution, Right Said Fred, an amateur werewolf hunter, curfews, a violent ex-boyfriend, and finals. With the help of a witch who calls herself a “goth,” and by “surfing” this thing called the “Information Superhighway,” the cure is within sight, but will they be able to use it in time?

And what if the wolves don’t want to be human again? What if they’re willing to kill to keep that from happening?
