There is a terrible car accident and Dylan and Griff¹s parents are killed. The boys are suddenly orphans with nowhere to go, until a kind aunt and uncle give them a new home in Wales.

Now Dylan and Griff have everything they need ­ love, a happy home and a future.

But Dylan is worried about Griff: whether he is OK, whether he is coping with his grief.
