An unnamed sixteen-year-old is the hero of this impressionistic and fragmented novel. His account of events begins on a snowy winter evening after his brother Kyle brawls with Duane over the beautiful Emily. The two high school basketball stars make apparent amends and Duane offers the brothers a ride home from this late-night party. Drunk, high, and still fuming at Kyle, Duane drives recklessly to scare his passengers. In his mindlessness, Duane hits someone on the road, then leaves Kyle, the narrator, and the body of the victim to freeze while he speeds away in his car. After the night has passed, the narrator and Kyle must face Duane's powerful father, who hopes to intimidate the brothers into silence. The man hated the boys' father when the two adults were in high school, and he hates Kyle for dating his daughter, Emily. As tension builds, the brothers learn that the abandonment by their father after their mother died is only the tip of their father's mysterious history and only a sliver of What Happened.
