Set in a fictional English public school, the story revolves around the world of schoolboy cricket, friendships, and the challenges faced by the main character, Fenn, who is navigating the complexities of being the head of his house, Kay's. The narrative explores themes of rivalry and authority, highlighting the pressures of competition and the dynamics between students and their housemaster.
