When twelve year old David is found blindfolded and dead at the bottom of a ship's hold while on a school outing, the headmaster claims the tradegy was due to an accident. But the boy's father begins his own investigation and very quickly uncovers a tawdry and messy web of secery, jealousy and cover-up at the Marristone Grange Boarding School.
