Willie Doyle is not the genius everyone thinks he is. After he
fails the primary certificate in 1952 and is denied access to any
secondary school in Ireland, his annoyed mother abandons him at an
exclusive boarding school in Dublin and forces the priests to adopt
him. Willie survives for six years, only because the academy is a
bee-hive of midnight businesses managed by students. After Willie
starts a lottery on predicting football results, he makes enough
money to support himself. While suffering from persistent insomnia
in a forty-bed dormitory, Willie explores the secret lives of the
academy's priests, the unusual sleep habits and behaviors of its
students, and the possibility of ghosts who purportedly wander the
halls, planning to scare students. In this coming-of-age tale, a
boy abandoned by his mother in a Dublin boarding school must learn
to fend for himself while exploring the lives of the priests,
students, and ghosts who surround him.
