Eli Bray is a Romani and lives in a Traveller site on the outskirts of society in the English countryside - in a small tight knit farming community, in a village called Overton. Eli works as a stable boy, tending to horses. A man of few words, Eli tends to be a loner - dark, mysterious, and quiet. Eli works hard to provide for his younger brother Caleb, who he is guardian of, to give him a better life than what they had growing up.
