For Robert, everything in his life feels wrong: his family, his friends, particularly his embarrassing sister Alice. Then Nick appears, dazzling, devil-may-care, extraordinary, offering an unexpected friendship. Robert is thrilled by the attention, and his sense of dislocation with the rest of his life grows. He hangs about waiting for Nick who turns up only occasionally, but always promising great things. He begins to encourage Robert to give in to the spiteful part of his nature: letting bulls into a field to frighten his father's friend, setting hay bales on fire, and even killing a baby bird. The conflicting fascination and fear of Nick draw events towards their climax. It is only Alice who clearly recognises Nick for what he is.
