Set against the backdrop of 1991 Bangkok, the story explores the unlikely friendship between a beggar known as "Boy" and a novice monk, both affected by a wall erected to hide a slum from international delegates. As they unite with street kids and elephant herders, they devise a plan to expose the corrupt ties between organized crime and politics. This fantasy novel delves into themes of innocence, hope, and the strength of children's voices in a world where adults have lost their way, highlighting the stark contrasts of social classes.
