In 1962, 16-year-old H is dropped off at St. Oswald's, a dismal boarding school on the coast of England. It is a model of its kind--the rooms are freezing, the food is disgusting, and the older boys are sadistic. But H is used to the drill and well-practiced at imagining himself somewhere--anywhere--else, until the day he comes face-to-face with Finn, an almost unbearably beautiful boy living by himself at the edge of the sea. As their unlikely friendship deepens, it offers H a haven away from the petty rules and bullies. But H and Finn can't hide forever.
