A tormented boy, bullied by his family and peers, descends into hate and isolation as he fantasizes about revenge against them, until a walk home from school changes his life forever.
Having been forgotten at school pickup, a seventh-grader arrives at the home of her divorced father for a weekend stay, only to uncover a horrific secret.
A fateful cruise aboard a historic sailing ship brings terrible consequences upon an eleven-year-old and her family.
