Summary

It's 1999 at Oceanside High School. Andy is throwing the first big party of the year and like... everyone is going to be there. Andy is the most popular kid in school. They are co-captain of the sailing team with their best friend Carter and is dating the Senior Class President, Shawn.

The Salmon Bay Homecoming Regatta will take place the weekend after the party, which is when the Oceanside Wolves will take on the North Shore County Bats in the annual weekend-long sailing regatta. This year, as co-captains, Andy and Carter will compete for the Salmon Cup (which Andy is completely obsessed about).

However, the whole town is talking about something else: Mr. Opus, Oceanside's beloved music teacher and band director has disappeared. He went missing this summer and many people presume him to be dead. Local authorities have no credible leads. And, Oceanside's local super hero, Captain Awesome (who appeared out of nowhere after last year's Homecoming Regatta) has also been unable to crack the case!

What happened to Mr. Opus? Who is Captain Awesome? Why is Andy so obsessed with winning the Salmon Cup? And, most importantly, will Shawn and Andy win Homecoming Class Couple of the Year?

All of these questions (and more!) will be asked, and maybe answered, at Andy's party. Be there, or be an L-7 Square. Whatever, loser.
