Summary:

Elliot was shoved into boarding school by his parents. Since he was unable to save his sister his parents blame him as the cause of her death. He now goes through the same things everyday which is mostly swimming.
On the death anniversary of his sister, while in the park he meets a little girl names Nellie. Something about her was very relaxing and comfortable. Elliot develops a friendship with Nellie and as he helps her with her troubled life, she helps him move on from the past.
He was haunted by the memory of his sister but his parents seemed to turn corrupt.
It did not want to end up the same, but nothing in the world could prepare him for what fate had in store.
