Every student at Saskatoon Collegiate knew that all the most important aspects of school life were controlled by a secret club called Shadow Council. Each fall, Shadow held a traditional lottery during which a single studentis name was drawn. The rest of the student body called the student the lottery winner. But Shadow Council knew better; to them the winner was the lottery victim. Whatever the label, the fated student became the Councilis go-fer, delivering messages of doom to selected targets. In reponse, the student body shunned the lottery winner for the entire year. This yearis victim was fifteen-year-old Sally Hanson.
