Twelve-year-old Devon Everette plays as a Dwarf Warrior. His crush, Emma, plays as a human sorceress. The creatures they battle in their favorite role-playing board game are nowhere near as horrible as the battle they'll fight in real life after Emma becomes a victim of sexual harassment and abuse.
