Why is Branwell struck dumb after the severe injury of Nikki, his baby half-sister? Is he suddenly unable to speak because he's protecting someone? Connor, his best friend, is sure that Branwell would not have injured Nikki. But then who did - and why?
With the help of his own, much older half-sister, Margaret, Connor comes to grasp more clearly the human emotions that have created the situation, and in the end, he sees that Branwell's silence is not to protect Vivian, Nikki's British au pair, who is the real culprit. Instead, it results from Branwell's fear that he will lose the love of his father if he reveals that he is not the perfect son his father wants.
