It was the experience of a group of girls in a prestigious boarding school during the 1930s. During this period, de Radfield is a prominent student who faces daily challenges especially when a beautiful Spanish girl named Fiamma arrives at school.

Driven more by characters and relationships than narrative, Cracks explores the exclusionary power of cliques that develop within a closed society, the single-minded violence of the mob mentality, and the seductive charm of the charismatic individual.
