Appena trasferito in un nuovo appartamento, solo per la prima volta da anni, Victor Forde va ogni sera al pub Donnelly per una pinta, una lenta. Una sera il suo drink viene interrotto. Un uomo in pantaloncini e maglietta rosa porta la sua pinta e si siede. Sembra conoscere il nome di Victor e ricordarsene dai tempi della scuola. Dice che si chiama Fitzpatrick. Victor lo detesta a prima vista, detesta anche i ricordi che Fitzpatrick suscita di cinque anni passati a insegnare dai Fratelli Cristiani. Evoca anche altri ricordi: di Rachel, la sua bellissima moglie diventata una celebrità, e della piccola pretesa di fama di Victor, come l'uomo che dice l'indicibile alla radio. Ma sono i ricordi della scuola e di un Fratello in particolare che non riesce a controllare e che alla fine minacciano di distruggere la sua sanità mentale.
