Toby
Toby is
raised on the outskirts of a small village by his abusive mother, Pauline,
and his wicked Aunt Carol. Continually bullied throughout his life,
he struggles to form loving relationships and develops a deep rooted
hatred of women. When he is taken out of school he creates a dangerous
fantasy love affair with his tutor, Ruth.
When he
eventually escapes the village life, he is totally unprepared for the
wider world and struggles to find his place in society. As Toby grows
into a young man, his warped view of life makes it difficult for him
to distinguish between his dreams and reality, sometimes with dangerous
consequences.
A tale
of mismatched relationships and unrequited love, Toby is a story of
one boy's distorted growth, a young woman's demise and an unknown onlooker
with mysterious intentions.
