Where? Rothdale Orphanage. When? 1950. Who? Charles Fraser. Why? No parents. No money. No love.
When Charles Fraser, a naive and innocent thirteen year old on the brink of adolescence is moved to Rothdale Orphanage after being cared for by his uncle, things don't always go according to plan, especially with Stella, the owner's haughty daughter around. But soon their cold and distant friendship transforms into a romantic relationship, when Stella realises that she can easily manipulate Charles whenever she wants. Charles seems to accept this quite openly, but love isn't always what it seems, especially not when it puts you on the verge of death...
