A boy who even twenty years on haunts his teacher's dreams. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist this march to the future, a shadow from his past is stirring. With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new broom has arrived at the venerable school, bringing Powerpoint, sharp suits and even sixth form girls to the dusty corridors. A boy capable of twisting everything around him. But every so often there's a boy who doesn't fit the mould.
