Storyline

Alex and Chandler both want to be in their private school's greatest club, the Lions Society, but the club decide they don't want Alex since he got in on a scholarship and isn't wealthy. Chandler breaks his promise that he won't go in on his own, since he's desperate to be a part of the club that two generations of his family have been in. Stealing a photograph of a headmaster to put on the detention-board for an initiation prank, he hides the theft by taking off what turns out to be a cover picture to reveal a photo of a boy on the porch of a building. Alex notices that the subject vanishes, but Chandler doesn't until he looks - then he is drawn into the picture by the student holding a camera when he does reappear. Alex finds out through Professor Barish, a former Lions Society member, that the boy was Jasper Davis, a scholarship-student rejected from the Lions Society in the 1940s, who fell off a roof and died when he ran off after getting the news chased by the merciless club. ...
