17 Year old Leon gets a surprise visit from his 16 year old Cousin Toby one weekend after not seeing each other for 3 years. What Leon doesn't realise is that Toby has changed a significant amount since puberty, having taken on the personality of a streetwise 'roadman' despite the fact that he's surrounded by the beautiful Surrey English countryside.

Julian Albans, the bully who left Beecher Prep, is visited by his Grandmère from Paris and is transformed by her remarkable story of compassion and courage. As a girl in Nazi-occupied France, the young Grandmère goes into hiding with the help of a schoolmate, a young man who risks everything to give her the chance to survive. Together, they find beauty and love in the secret world of their own creation.
