Deze serie duikt in de geheimen en intriges die zich afspelen binnen de heilige zalen van prestigieuze Britse kostscholen. Het volgt de verstrengelde levens van jonge studenten wier paden elkaar kruisen met een duister verleden en verborgen verraden. Elke aflevering ontrafelt verdere lagen van spanning, waarin onschuld botst met koelbloedige plannen en oude mysteries aan de oppervlakte komen. Het is een meeslepend verhaal over het najagen van een beter leven, de prijs van leugens en de onontkoombare aard van het verleden.

    The impressively versatile Joanne Harris in her psychological thriller mode, at her darkest and most unsettling. After thirty years at St Oswald's Grammar in North Yorkshire, Latin master Roy Straitley has seen all kinds of boys come and go. Each class has its clowns, its rebels, its underdogs, its 'Brodie' boys who, whilst of course he doesn't have avourites, hold a special place in an old teacher's heart. But every so often there's a boy who doesn't fit the mould. A troublemaker. A boy with hidden shadows inside. With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new broom has arrived at the venerable school, bringing Powerpoint, sharp suits and even sixth form girls to the dusty corridors. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist this march to the future, a shadow from his past is stirring. A boy who even twenty years on haunts his teacher's dreams. A boy capable of bad things.
