From the inside dust jacket cover: "Michael Atwood is a lawyer, restless, divorced, the absentee father of two children. He is drawn to Cat Holzman, whose own divorce he handled, but is wary of her sheltering of Gale Murray, a deeply troubled teenager who appeared at Cat's door one blizzardy evening, his hand savagely burned under circumstances that are only gradually revealed.
When Gale is declared an Incorrigible by his father and taken into detention by the authorities, Cat asks Michael for help. Michael agrees, but is soon discouraged by Gale's hostility and apathy. As for the boy himself, he can see no way out of the web woven by his parents, the law, and his own despair and fatalism."
