Summary
For quarterback Michael Townley, king of Sandy Heights High, things don't seem like they could get much better: excellent car, sports-star status, the hottest girlfriend in school. But things start to slip when he meets a sharp eyed punk, spitting reality with a violent streak even worse than the one Michael tries to keep tied up in the dark. Suddenly, the suburban teenage dream doesn't seem as perfect as everyone would like him to believe.

Summary
Tensions are thawing between the Soviet Union and the United States. After several decades of the two super powers being at each other's throats, it seems that the country's governments are starting to patch old wounds. The general feeling the public has is different, many people still remain skeptical of each other.
Ivan attempts to cope with his identity and the constant reminder that he is a black sheep among many white ones. He’s living in what he was raised to believe was the enemy's territory, it conflicts with his trauma. Just because he wasn’t living in the Soviet Union anymore didn’t mean his fears wouldn’t follow him across the Atlantic to haunt him. He feels like an outcast, and even a traitor.
However, during Ivan’s first year of school in the U.S., there is an American boy he meets that makes him forget certain worries.
Even if the boy is the most obnoxious person Ivan has ever had a conversation with.
[TL;DR] Teenager Ivan Braginsky attempts to find his true self in his mess that is his past, and possibly find love in the process.
