The character that holds the group together, Jude St. Francis, has an unfathomably tragic past that he keeps mostly to himself but that is visible to other’s because of his - emotional and physical - scars. The book tells the story of his life through the happenings of the present-time mixed with events that happened in his childhood. It follows him and his friends as they get older and live through various stages of life.
I would strongly suggest reading the content warnings before reading this book.
