Life can be like a game of snakes and ladders …

Finn’s druggie Dad is on trial for manslaughter, and so Finn is sent away to an exclusive boarding school to remove him from the small-town gossip machine. At first he feels a bit like a fish out of water, but soon makes some good friends, and even scores with the much-lusted-after Mia, who plays in the symphonic band with him. However there is someone who knows Finn’s secret …

Blackmail and lies … will Finn ever face the truth? It’s not until disaster befalls one of his friends at an illicit after-ball party that Finn learns what is most important in life.
