White Mike is clean. He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t do drugs. But he is a successful drug dealer. White Mike was good in school, even though school has been over for six months. And although some people wonder what he’s doing all the time, no one cares that White Mike is taking a year off before going to college. Or maybe they do. White Mike’s clients are high school students who are fighting boredom during their school breaks and spending a lot of money in the process. While their successful parents are on vacation or business trips, they throw sex and drug parties in their New York villas and luxury apartments. It’s just after Christmas, and New Year’s Eve is set to be the biggest party of all time. The novel "Twelve," written by Nick McDonell at the age of seventeen, is celebrated worldwide as a literary sensation.
