"Told through the alternating viewpoints of four individuals, The Coming Storm centers around a traditional upper-class boys' school in upstate New York. Louis Tremper, the headmaster at the Forge School, his wife, Claire, Tracy Parker, a twenty-five-year-old gay man recently hired to teach at the school, and Noah Lathrop III, a troubled fifteen-year-old student - each character must struggle with inner demons, desires, and conflicting loyalties.

As their lives move to a crisis point, dark episodes from the school's past collide with the current, growing confusion that reigns when Tracy and Noah get entangled in an illicit relationship."--BOOK JACKET.
