In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy boards a ship bound for England, and at mealtimes is seated at the 'cat's table' with a ragtag group of 'insignificant' adults and two other boys.

And at night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner - his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever.
