Visit the 1960s. Black and white television. Coal fires. Bus conductors. Caning in secondary schools. Imagine three people: a schoolboy and two of his teachers. Then add some key ingredients to the tale: a Panamanian potion, a table tennis bat and a small boat. Mix thoroughly for over a year. Now you're getting the idea.

Meet the adolescent, amenable, articulate Alexander Shuttleworth and his vaguely unsuitable friends, George and Miriam. Within this triangle, there is much learning and more than a little danger. There is life unfolding, love evolving and, somewhere in the distance, the chilling end of everything.

This is the story of a young man's journey towards self-realisation, maturity and a calm acceptance of how, sometimes, for some good people, there is a flat earth. But it can still be fun getting there - most of the time.
