To get what she wants, Ruth has a knack for airing other folks' dirty laundry. Inspired by true events, this sinister novella involves a white guidance counselor (Ruth Banner) at Riverside High, and Carlos Jones, a student-athlete, and self-proclaimed bad-boy. With Carlos' assistance, Ruth, orchestrates a half-witted plot to become the embattled school's new principal. But her nefarious plan is cut short after learning that the recently vacated position is being filled by Diana Meeks, a young, energetic, and headstrong African-American female, who, ironically was recruited by the outgoing principal, Dr. Lanier. Ruth is devastated. Her nurturing reputation with the students of Riverside, along with her family's strong social and political ties to the community, and not to mention the sure certainty that she and Carlos have successfully neutralized any competition, all help to fuel Ruth's confidence that she will become the obvious choice to replace Dr. Lanier, who, suspiciously announces that he is retiring after a thirty-year tenure. The sequence of events sets the scene for explosive drama, teetering along the lines of race, class and sex, while threatening to expose some of the school's most sordid secrets.
