Philip Coates is seventeen and convinced that he is not only trapped in a boarding school for boys, but also trapped in the wrong body. He spends most of his time lost in a world of his imagination. In this world he is the girl he always wanted to be. The girl who screams at him to set her free in every minute of every waking hour, and most of the sleeping ones as well.
Trapped in a social square hole, he becomes simply what everyone - parents, friends, teachers - want and expect him to be. He knows that he wants to be a round peg, but will, in reality, never make it.
Well, he wakes up one morning convinced that his dream might just be coming true.. or is it?
The signs are there, but then again, are there other explanations for what he is going through?
After a rough few days, the girl is set free.
The future is now gloriously uncertain and fresh, as she sets out on a journey, turning her back on her school, her friends and her old home.....
