Publisher's Synopsis

At St Stephen's Academy, the students are on the verge of revolt. While the younger boys plot an insurrection, the older ones are preoccupied with sneaking out-of-bounds, thrashing each other and tearing each other's clothes off. Morgan Wilberforce, for one, can't take it any longer. Everything Wilberforce touches turns to disaster in his attempts to fight off desire, boredom, and angst. He knocks himself unconscious tackling the unattainable Spaulding on the rugby pitch, his headmaster hates him for crimes committed years ago, and even his closest friends are subjecting him to physical tortures normally reserved for juniors. When an accident at the school leaves him with more suffering than he could have fathomed, he finds himself alone and adrift.
