Though he's faced some tragedy, he sees a bright path ahead as well, secure in the fact he has the talent to make it happen. When a high school prank results in what feels like a bad luck curse just as Waz and Renny start to discover feelings for one another, it seems the only way to turn things around is to take a break after their summer fling. Ten years later, high school long over, when Renny and Waz are thrown back together, one has found every bit of success he'd dreamed of, while the other still struggles. Does the dark cloud hang over only one of them, now? What would happen if they tried to be together again? Can bad luck be tricked into turning good?
