Keefe Williams lives a childhood of neglect and disconnect, feeling
completely invisible. Known only for the story of the night his parents
died and the freak event that killed them, he suffers silently holding
on to the one thing in his life that sets him apart. When Keefe is a
teenager Summer Barkley moves to the community. She is oblivious to the
entrenched story of Keefe Williams's life, giving him an opportunity to
finally be someone separate from his tragic past. As their relationship
develops, Keefe can claim his true identity.
Through Keefe's art and Summer's writing the need to truly explore and
understand the past becomes something from which they cannot run. When
the Hill Came Down explores greed, jealousy, love, loyalty and the very
fabric of a community full of stories whose threads intertwine. The
colour, texture and multi-faceted of any story in any community, bear
scrutiny. Nothing is ever exactly the way it seems.
