Sheen is a quiet, unassuming student, whose standing in the school’s social hierarchy is irrevocably damaged when he commits a sin of cowardice: he flees from a fight between some of his schoolmates and a group of local boys. This decision leads him to be swiftly and severely ostracized by his school community. Facing this scorn, Sheen must find a way to restore his honor.
