After getting shipped to St. Ignatius, a Catholic boarding school for misbehaving boys, Teddy befriends troubled classmate Cooper. While nearly all must endure the physical and verbal abuse of the priests, Teddy helplessly watches Cooper descend into depression and hatred as a result of ongoing sexual abuse. Teddy's authentic voice powerfully recounts this tragic tale.
