Ash is one of a few dozen adolescents marooned on an enclosed and fortified beach camp. Their parents had brought them to the camp when they were still very small, fortified it with a barbed wire fence and keep out notices, and then abandoned them. Not all the children spoke English, and over the years they have evolved a crude pidgin form of the language with which to communicate. They've almost forgotten what the world used to be like and their distant memories are only reinforced by a pile of old magazines which they pore over with wonder. The ASPs, as they call themselves, like to surf. Ash is the champion surfer and, therefore, de facto leader of the camp.
