Thrillingly dangerous, worryingly likeable, some siblings are better kept apart. Josie and Jack Raeburn are beautiful, brilliant and inseperable. Their father a gifted and tempestuous man has tried to shape them to his own design, feeding them an eccentric diet of advanced physics, mathematics and classical literature. They live in an isolated house where Jack presides over a wild and ungoverned existence when his father is not there. As their father becomes more irrational Josie and Jack are forced to leave the family home and go to London. At first the fearful and admiring Josie follows her brother unquestioningly. However, as Jack's own behaviour becomes volatile and threatening, Josie finds herself struggling - should she stand by her brother, or make a break to free herself from his increasingly dangerous machinations. When they become involved with Lily a rich society girl, Josie understands what she must do ... and brings the story to a shocking climax.
