In 1952 Christchurch, Juliet Hulme, an affluent 13-year-old English girl, transfers to a new school and befriends Pauline Parker, a 14-year-old girl from a working-class family.

Pauline spends most of her time at the Hulmes', where she feels accepted.

Juliet introduces Pauline to the idea of "the Fourth World", a Heaven without Christians where music and art are celebrated.
