Otte børn skar engang deres navne ind i stammen på den enorme blodbøg, der stod i skolegården i Shancarrig. Nu er de voksne og har udviklet sig forskelligt, men det var skolen, der formede dem og gjorde dem til det, de er. Barndomstiden i Shancarrig er fyldt med minder, gode såvel som dårlige, og enkelte som ikke tåler dagens lys.
