Malachy Dudgeon has escaped the misery and madness of his childhood home and landed a job in the most famous school in Dublin. The headmaster, Raphael Bell, has overcome his own tragedies to forge a model career, but when Malachy and Raphael meet, they become inextricably engaged in a macabre relationship which proves fatal to their fortunes and their sanity.
