Takes place in the fall of 1989 then the spring of 1991 in a small
town at the edge of industrial Weston in the northeast (a composite
locale in Pennsylvania). Part 1, Fire in the Dark, relates the
story of high school senior, hothead, and soccer star Maryl
O'Donnell and her conflicted relationship with Millerville's hunky
linebacker, Derek Teaberry. Their families were friends until tough
times forced a wedge between them. Maryl tangles with Derek's
younger sister, who is injured in the incident, and Derek pushes
Maryl's twin, Megan, into an intimacy she did not want. A series of
events, culminating in a fire at the O'Donnells' small business,
results in Maryl being suspected of conspiring to collect insurance
money. Her often-violent responses to pressure don't help, and
memories of her part in a childhood kidnapping cloud her judgement.
Maryl must enlist the help of her nemesis, Derek, in uncovering who
is behind the fires-with a long-ago death as the key to solving the
mystery-while the real culprit seeks to avenge one tragedy with
another, the life of a talented young goalkeeper. Part 2, A Shot in
the Dark, finds Maryl at the end of her freshman year at a small
college. On a scholarship, Maryl tries to find a balance between
academia, athletics, and recreation; in addition, she must maintain
a part-time job and keep her boyfriend at bay until the time is
right . . . and then the past intrudes, in the form of the young
man she helped put in jail who has been released and wastes no time
making her aware of it. A ghost appears from the past, further
complicating matters. Faced with choices she never asked for, Maryl
must choose between helping someone she thought was lost to her
forever, keeping her scholarship or her personal integrity, and in
the end, protecting herself from a terrible fate.
