Lonely Francis meets Jessica; he's the first person who's been able to see or hear her since she died a year earlier. Soon they are joined by tough newcomer Andi and withdrawn, overweight Roland. Without shying away from the bullying and despair that affect his young characters, Norriss balances moments of sadness and pathos with others of joy and humor.
