About
It's 1954 and Adam Carter is twelve years old, an only child with no friends nor any self confidence. His father Edward is a bully. A successful and ruthless businessman, he breeds fear into the heart of his family. Adam's mother is too cowed to protect her son, so Adam's only support comes in the shape of Jake Wallis, the school bus driver.
