As if Stephan's parents' constant quarrels weren't enough, his mother now reveals that they're going to send him to a boarding school, hoping to improve his grades. But the boys at Shiverstone Castle turn out to be a far cry from teacher's pets. After initial hesitation, Stephan is admitted into a secret brotherhood. That's when the fun at boarding school begins, since the boys are at war with the girls from the nearby Rosenfels boarding school. While the girls are plotting revenge against the “Shiveries,” the boys are planning their next prank. What they don't know yet is that they'll all have to be together at the castle celebration. A disaster... or maybe not?

He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.
