Then, the year Marsh and his best friend, Willy, are twelve, Carl appears at the rink, wearing a battered, old leather flight jacket and doing a strange dance that is both beautiful and disturbing to watch.\n\nIt is Marsh and Willy who discover the terrible secret behind Carl’s dance, a secret that threatens to destroy him.
