Real stories. Real teens. Real consequences. A group of teens traffic drugs between Mexico and California in this first installment in the high-stakes, nonfiction Simon True series.
It’s 1971 in Coronado, a small southern California beach town. For seventeen-year-old Eddie Otero, a skilled waterman and avid surfer, life is simple.

Soon they become fugitives. Living on the edge, they vow to return to their normal lives—right after one last run…
