Seventeen-year-old Dillon Yates never dreamed that setting up a prank Twitter account for his vice principal could land him in a lockdown juvenile facility. But this is Blackburn, Massachusetts, where zero tolerance for minors is a way of life. Leading the movement is Judge Joe Scali, who gives speeches about getting tough on today's wild youth. But Dillon's mother isn't buying Scali's line. She hires P.I. Spenser to find the truth behind the draconian sentencing.
