Battling to keep her grades up and deal with a jealous rival pitcher, River has to dig deep to excel against the elite-level competition. But when tragedy strikes, and a suspension she doesn't deserve fractures the squad, she turns to her enigmatic tutor and discovers a secret that might be exactly what she needs to get back on the mound.
