Boy meets magic. Boy meets death.

Screams of delighted chatter filling the hallways. Rain drizzling down in buckets, creating intricate patterns on the windows. Teachers, at their wits end, wondering what happened to their relaxing summer vacation. The new school year at Tempora Catholic High School has begun! Down the PE corridor, to the left of the caretakers office and right of a mysterious "Staff only" cupboard, is an old storage room. This is home to an old electric piano with more than one sticky key, and year 10 student Patrick Moth. Patrick is what most people would call a strange boy. Since year 8 he's been playing piano in the school chapel for Mass, when he would much rather be rocking out some heavy metal like his Gothic sister. Patrick is perfectly content with his lonesome life until he meets Bonnie Edwards, an eccentric Thespian with a vibrant personality. She soon pulls him into the school drama club but will he really fit in with all these kids? Meanwhile, new to the school is year 10 student, Charlie Williams. Coming from a school in Yorkshire where she was popular with the art students, she wants to fit in a second time. That's when she comes across a trio consisting of the hilarious Evan Mollsy, Paddy Maxwell and Lee Davidson. At first, Charlie hates them, but when an accident occurs, she and the leader, Evan Mollsy, develop an unexpected friendship. But what mischief will the trio get her into? And are they really the right people to be hanging around with? As Patrick and Charlie's stories collide at the manga section of a local library, they become a major part of each others' story - and Charlie vows to help Patrick by whatever means necessary, despite not even being able to help herself...
