Preface

Four children – Jack, Julie, Sue and Tom – find themselves abruptly orphaned. All the routines of childhood are cast aside as the children adapt to a parentless world. Alone in the house together, the children’s lives twist into something unrecognisable as the outside begins to bear down on them.
