Description: Set in the fictional small northern Ontario town of Kennewick in 1968, Mallory explores the consequences of ostracism and bullying and abuse. Mallory is intense, intellectually gifted, estranged from her family as well as her peer group. She is a magnet for other people's bad intentions. Her parents are oblivious to her gifted nature and her brother, Victor, is drifting into mental illness. She joins The Club, a group of troubled kids at school. The Club falls under the spell of Rev. Randolph Fletcher, a charismatic minister whose spiritual ideals long ago went off the rails and Mallory faces the ultimate test of moral courage.
