It deals with the experiences of Nigel Barton, a young man from a poor mining community who wins a scholarship to Oxford University.

Uncertain of which sphere he should be moving in, Nigel tries to reconcile himself with his proud but stubborn father, and also succeed at University, despite its pretentions which apall him.
