When Duncan enters his new boarding school room at the start of senior year, he finds a stack of CDs that reveal the devastating story of the room's former occupant. Duncan delves into albino Tim Macbeth's history and his tempestuous relationship with Vanessa, and also contemplates how Tim's story relates to his own. This unusual tragedy is well-plotted and intriguing.
