Henry K. Larsen is trying to rebuild his life in a new town where no one knows his name or about IT. His brother recently committed a murder/suicide at his high school. His new psychologist wants him to try writing a journal. In the journal Henry deals with why IT happened.
In the journal Henry reflects on many situations of bullying that he saw his brother suffer. Also, in his new school he sees a kid that reminds him a lot of his brother and sees the bullying that this poor boy suffers as well.
