Steve Crandall, the main character of this book, is the star of his hockey team. After the game, Steve in walking out of the rink when a boy named Mark Slate introduces himself to Steve. Mark eventually convinces Steve to come meet someone named Kenneth Agard Jr. sitting in a limousine. Kenneth offers to give Steve a ride home, and on the way Kenneth tells Steve that he is going to take him under his wing and turn him into a hockey star. Steve is unconvinced that Kenneth is who he says he is until Kenneth shows Steve a letter from his parents giving him permission to go with Kenneth. They then rush to the airport to begin their long journey.
