he academies of English power, present day. Aron, a popular, brilliant kid from a local comprehensive, reluctantly takes on a scholarship to the single-sex public school that looms over his town. When dire home responsibilities force him to adapt to its conservative doctrines, he quickly becomes seduced by the power they can offer and is compelled to choose between his two ways of life. Soon, however, Aron's fellow pupils see his conversion as a threat, and put to work the manipulative skills in which they have been trained in order to preserve their old system of government. A chilling insight into the institutions that shape the British elite, and the all-too-human ambition behind them, this is a tale of duty, friendship and rivalry that has resonance for all ages and backgrounds.
