Summary

Story of how one of the country's leading schools was beset by scandal, and what happened as survivors of abuse came forward and sought redress. Teachers and administrators are at the centre of the controversy, as well as the school's influential backers, who circle the wagons, and concerned alumni who grapple with the failure of an elite institution to protect those in its charge.
