A teenaged boy's death in a hazing accident has lasting effects on his pregnant girlfriend and his guilt-ridden cousin, who gives up a promising music career to play football during his senior year in high school.

A high school junior and his cousin suffer the ramifications of joining what seems to be a "reputable" school club.

Ziggy, Jerome, Rico, and Rashawn look forward to using the two hundred dollars they are sure they will win in the school talent show to fix up their clubhouse--until they meet their biggest competition: a very talented little girl who needs the money more than they do.

Ziggy and his friends are excited to find out about the tunnel under their school that was once used by the Underground Railroad and decide to check it out.

After the neighborhood basketball court is vandalized, Ziggy and his friends decide to form a club called the Black Dinosaurs and build their clubhouse in Ziggy's backyard where they find a mysterious cache of buried bones.

Ziggy and the other members of the Black Dinosaurs go to space camp where they learn about the space program and speculate about the existence of extraterrestrial beings.

After their counselor told them a story about spirits in the woods near their campsite, Ziggy and his friends get lost in that very place.
