Bobby Burns es un chico con suerte. Siempre ha vivido en un plácido pueblo costero en el norte de Inglaterra, donde ha sido testigo de estrellas que se reflejan en el gélido mar, de una niña que puede sanar cervatillos con sus sueños, de un escapista que rompe cadenas y traga fuego. Sin embargo, una sombra amenaza su existencia. Su nueva escuela es un lugar frío y cruel; su padre padece una enfermedad misteriosa y el mundo parece estar al borde de un desastre nuclear. Aun así, Bobby sabe que, en la oscuridad, siempre se oculta un rayo de esperanza.
