Carson gets handed a package in front of his school and doesn't know what do do with it. After that he ends up pulling a prank on the teacher and glues lots of doors shut and items on the principal's desk stuck to the desk. He ends up getting 2 weeks of detention. Once he gets home he ends up opening the package, once he opened it he found an LCD player inside. He clicks a couple of buttons and he found out that in 48 hours the its going to self destruct.
Carson keeps freaking out because every 15 minutes the device reminds him that it’s gonna self destruct. He’s trying to get some sleep and keeps tossing and turning because he’s scared about the device. While Carson was trying to sleep he sees a creepy car driving down the street then he notices that the car doesn’t have their headlights on. Carson is wondering why the car keeps going down his street, at this point he barely got any sleep that night.
Carson brings the mysterious device to school and has to make sure that every 15 minutes nobody hears the self destruct device when it gives off the message saying it’s going to self destruct in a certain amount of time. When carson gets on the bus in the morning, he sits next to this kid named Oleck. Since the bus ride is long he has to be loud and cover up the message. Carson and Oleck end up talking for a long time and once the message came Carson started singing really loud so no one could hear the device.
Carson brings the mysterious device to school and has to find a way to keep anybody from hearing that the device is going to self destruct. He puts the device in his locker because it’s the only place he could put it besides his backpack where nobody could see it. He tries to get out of homeroom before anyone hears the device and has pee his pants on purpose so that he could get out of class.
Carson shows the device to Dillon and Danielle and they both try and help him keep quiet about the device. Since the guy told Carson something about Mr. Jensen knows something about the device, so after school he goes to the football coach to see if he knows anything about the device. He pretends to be interested in football to see if he knows anything but Mr. Jensen didn’t know a single thing about it. He ends up going home and he ends up seeing car without headlights again.
Carson needs to find another way to cover up the Betsy message so once he got on the bus. So he told Oleck to sing another song. Once he got to school he thought about putting betsy on Mr. Jensen's desk but then he thought about what could happen. If betsy does actually blow up then the school would be in danger but if he kept it then that would put his life at risk. He was also still debating if Mr. Jensen was a secret spy agent or not. After school he was met by two creepy dudes in suits they were looking for a specific kid, Carson saw Oleck hiding behind the dumpster. Carson realized that they were looking for Oleck, he looked back and saw the two guys started chasing them. Carson tripped to two dudes with his backpack. They ran into the school and that’s where he found the janitor.
Once the two men in the suits got into the building they tried to act normal and like they weren’t trying to kidnap Oleck. Then Carson sees his music teacher and he tells them to run and get out of there. Then Oleck explains that he knows the guys that were chasing him and Oleck. It was a terrorist agency. Carson ends up finding out that his music teacher is a secret spy agent and now he’s wondering if Oleck was in on the package that he was given. He went home that night having so many questions but none of them got answered.
Carson gets asked if he wants to help Mr. Jensen with his secret spy agency. Carson didn’t know if he should though. On one hand he would finally get an answer to all of his questions but on the other hand he wouldn’t be able to do much more. He also wouldn’t be able to see his family as much. But that didn’t really matter to him as much because his parents really didn’t care for him that much either.
