Summary
The summer before his last year in school Alex Forbes is sent on trip across the U.K and some parts of Europe accumulating skills in which his father says are necessary.
He's two weeks in Wales when he's told he will be heading to Scotland and this time he wouldn't be without company.
Some of children of his father's society are there, all in this one Manor without any parental supervision — a recipe for disaster.
Alex is given little choice with regards to befriending these teenagers. They are all sort of odd in their own way, one in particular — a boy with chilling, ice blue eyes, a brooding frown and a morbid fascination for all things dead.
It is their fathers wishes they become friends, allies.
Joining the House of Spades Alex is given two choices either bend or break to fit the role given by Nigel Colbie — the Jack of Spades.

Summary
The hall was too hot.
Not from fire, though flames roared in the twin braziers at the foot of the dais; nor from the crush of bodies, though the air was thick with the smell of sweat and wool and oiled leather. The heat was heavier than that. It was the weight of ceremony, of all the eyes in the room fixed forward, of duty and tradition and ritual piled on top of each other until it smothered even the air.
Alex shifted in his seat and resisted the urge to tug at his collar. His tunic, a royal crimson trimmed in cloth of gold, was finely cut, but no seamstress could change the fact that it chafed at the neck. He had been sitting straight back beside his father for what felt like an eternity, and there were still knights left to kneel.

Summary
17 year old Nigel Colbie isn't accepted by his peers nor his parents for being transgender. He's basically lives at the church from the town over—from how often his parents drag him down there to "make him normal." Nigel's parents think they filled out a form for him to be entered into Bradley's Grammar School for girls, but he switched the form right before mailing it. After cutting his hair and making himself more masculine any way he can, he gets accepted into Kingsley School. No one knows anything about the weird new kid that keeps to himself, and he doesn't care about getting to know anyone else either. Until he sees him—the principal's dear son.

Summary
(…) Alex thought this kind of life—mud and cold, animal blood, isolation—would drive him mad in a matter of days. But it hadn’t. It was quiet. Rational in its way. The patterns of the woods, the tasks of survival. It made more sense than anything else ever had, especially the suffocating madness of school. Out here, he just had to keep them alive.
Their days bled together.
Nigel took to the house like he’d been preparing for it his whole life. Their shared bedroom looked like a Victorian playhouse for the dead—lace curtains, candle stubs, pressed flowers between pages of anatomy textbooks. His dissecting tools were neatly laid on a repurposed spice rack. There was always something drying on the clothesline out back—Nigel’s laundry, yes, but also the odd wing, tail, or jawbone wrapped in cheesecloth.
Alex, for his part, spent most of his time reading or watching the mist move across the moor through the tiny, warped glass panes. He smoked too much, kept the ashtray by the bed, wrote in a small black notebook about nothing at all—just lines and half-formed thoughts.
Nigel told Alex once that he didn’t believe in God but thought whatever they had might be worse, and more beautiful. (…)

Summary
(…) “I — I opened her just like you did to that pigeon… I did that… I did that for you… But you just don’t get it, do you? You are always trying to be the smart one discovering meanings in accident books and history, thinking you get everything, but how could you when you didn’t get even that?”
Alex met his eyes, jaw tight, shoulders shaking. It bothers him. It bothers him to be like this. That he has been infatuated with Nigel, probably ever since that night he watched him dissect animals for whole four hours. Alex hated that he was feeling this, not because some stupid christian principle, he didn’t mind being in love with a guy, he didn’t exactly liked it either, but what bothered him the most was to have feelings for that weird goth freak no one liked.
“And than you come to me, asking if I touched her like you gave me a big gift leaving me alone with her in that morgue, but I didn’t needed it, I could have done it to her that night, but I didn’t. Because it wasn’t about that. It was about you.” (…)

Summary
This is literally something I did just because I wanted to use it for note making and character analysis. I have a hard time remembering the details of this film and prefer reading it to watching it for and hour and a half.
