What do you do when the girl of your dreams turns out to be your worst nightmare? Tony Ross is going out with the love of his life. Ashleigh is pretty, smart and dedicated - she even organises for them to spend quality time together as a couple. It involves attending cultural activities such as reading and writing groups, debating, and choir - all during school lunchtimes. Unfortunately, this is not Rossy's idea of fun. A few other things are nagging him: his girlfriend's ex - who threatens to kill him if he treats Ashleigh badly; and his growing feelings for Lacey - his best mate's little sis. Tony is caught between a rocky romance and a hard fist - it's lucky that he's always got a plan.
