โฆ Synopsis
A mysterious accident drives the inhabitants of a quiet town to face their darkest obsessions
When George McCaffrey's car plunges into a canal with his wife still inside, nobody knows whether George is to blame. Nobody, that is, except an Anglican priest who happened to witness the whole thing. And when George's former teacher, the charismatic philosopher Rozanov, returns to town, George's life begins to spin wildly out of control.
Set in the English spa town of Ennistone, The Philosopher's Pupil is a darkly comic story of love, redemption, and the complex nature of the human condition.
