Principal Vance warns Alec to pay attention in class, or else--but Alec loves reading too much. So, he starts the Losers Club, intending to be the only member, just to have free reading time to himself. Astonishingly, other kids join the club, and Alec begins to realize that his life could be just as interesting as the stories he loves.

Chase does not remember falling off the roof, in fact he does not remember anything about himself, and when he gets back to middle school he begins to learn who he was through the reactions of the other kids--trouble is, he really is not sure he likes the Chase that is being revealed, but can he take the opportunity amnesia has provided and restart his life?
