1. The golden boy

Deep friendships and memories are made at a boarding school among the rice paddies in Lombok, Indonesia. But the lesson they’re taught to remember most is: “We hear and we obey.” And the person they’re expected to obey is the founder and headmaster — the man they’re told to call “Abah”, or “Father”. But when Yusron, the school’s golden boy, gets in touch over instagram with Zia — a fellow former student — she reveals something that begins to unravel all that he believes in.
