Kathy, Ruth and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school in the idyllic English countryside, kept apart from the rest of the world. As a young woman, Kathy finds that Ruth and Tommy have re-entered her life. She begins to look back at their shared past to look at what made them special and how the rest of their lives will be shaped.
