Description

Gabriel Noone, a writer known for his late night radio stories, receives proofs of a memoir written by a sickly thirteen-year-old boy who suffered sexual abuse. As Noone forms a deep friendship with the boy, Pete Lomax, he is forced to confront his own relationships and face troubling new questions. An extraordinary tale that challenges the boundaries between truth and illusion.
