Never has Gregory Trent felt so alone. His parents were now dead and his little brother Alex has stopped talking to him. His cousins, whom he had managed to fight with all summer, were now at St. Beckerton Boys' Academy and even his loving Aunt Marian could not be there to see him off on the first day to his new school. Against overwhelming odds, Gregory faces each day as it is given to him, both the good and the wretched. Will true friendship be the guiding light to brighter days? Not until Justin Ryan has his way with him first.
