Next door lives a ten-year-old boy, Henry. Henry¿s father is a violent drug-dealer, his mother helpless in protecting them against him. A gap in the hedge between the two houses allows Henry to slip into Karl¿s yard, and Karl and Henry strike up a gentle friendship as glimpses of Karl¿s troubled past and his time in the army emerge. When a drug deal goes wrong, Henry¿s mother is killed. His father unceremoniously dumps her body in a disused mineshaft, but a murder investigation ensues after the body is discovered. All is not as it seems, however, and in a powerful climax the real connection between Henry and Karl is revealed.
