Det var dødsfallene til fem cheerleadere som gjorde byen Sunnybrook beryktet. Elleve år senere flytter Hadley til Sunnybrook, men lokalbefolkningen er mer opptatt av The Tigers, skolens fotballag. The Tigers er Sunnybrooks hjemmedyrkede helter – noe positivt og oppmuntrende i en by med en mørk fortid. Hadley bryr seg lite om fotball, men kort tid etter at hun blir tildelt oppgaven å skrive om lagets siste mesterskapsforsøk for skoleavisen, blir en av Tigers-spillerne forgiftet på en fest. Like etter begynner Hadley å motta merkelige e-poster som advarer henne om å holde seg langt unna fotballaget. Det blir tydelig at Sunnybrooks helter har hemmeligheter, og etter at en annen spiller blir drept på mystisk vis, begynner Hadley å mistenke at noen vil at laget skal betale for sine synder. Har det kanskje noe å gjøre med det som skjedde med cheerleaderne for så mange år siden?

It was the deaths of five cheerleaders that made the town of Sunnybrook infamous. Eleven years later, the girls' killer has been brought to justice, and the town just wants to move on. By the time Hadley moves to Sunnybrook, though, the locals are more interested in the Tigers, the high school's championship-winning football team. The Tigers are Sunnybrook’s homegrown heroes--something positive in a town with so much darkness in its past.Hadley could care less about football, but shortly after she gets assigned to cover the team's latest championship bid for the school newspaper, one of the Tigers is poisoned at a party, and almost immediately after, Hadley starts getting strange emails warning her to stay far away from the football team.It's becoming clear Sunnybrook's golden boys have secrets, and after a second player is mysteriously killed, Hadley’s beginning to suspect that someone wants the team to pay for their sins. Or does this new target on the football team have something to do with what happened to the cheerleaders all those years ago?As an outsider in Sunnybrook, Hadley feels like she's the only one who can see the present clearly, but it looks like she’s going to have to dig up the darkness of the past to get to the bottom of what’s happening now. Luckily, there are still some Sunnybrook High grads who never left--people who were around eleven years ago—and if she can just convince them to talk, she might be able stop a killer before another Tiger dies.
