In an unspecified time and location, an unnamed boy is living what
he feels to be an idyllic life in the faded and peeling Lido where
his father is a lifeguard. He idolises his father - never more so
than when he saves the life of a suicidal man - and he comes to
believe that heroism is all. The arrest of his sister Lilly later
that summer brings the halcyon days to an abrupt end, and his
family is torn apart, with Lilly sent to jail and the boy set to a
boarding house for dysfunctional boys, far away from his home - The
Fell. He is young and afraid but the boys in the home become his
family and they band together against their enemies, both real and
imagined, they become family. The boy is an unreliable narrator,
seeing the world and his place in it through a unique lens. He
meets ghosts, hears voices and battles his fears but never
questions his own version of reality. Anger spills over when he
hears the girl he loves referred to as a twenty-dollar-whore and
his actions lead him to run from The Fell. And run, And run...
