Keir's dad Ray has been widowed for more than fifteen years, Ray expends all of his energy on his kids. Gigi Boudakian is Keir’s best friend. The story starts out by her accusing him of raping her. Keir then starts to tell stories to show that he's not the kind of guy who could ever be capable of rape. He tells a story of him tackling a player and paralyzing him. He then starts to get many football scholarships for this hit. Then he tells the story of a shadowy figure violently hazing the high school's soccer team. This couldn't be of Keir. The statue of Paul Revere couldn't have been destroyed by Keir and his after a party. It is then hard for him to remember many nights because of many nights drinking and taking prescription pills. Towards the end of the novel the reader is starting to question if Keir is really telling the truth. It appears that what he is telling the opposite of what is true.
