His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do.

While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences." -- Publisher's website.
