Jellicoe Road opens with a tragedy on the road itself, in the Australian bush. This introduces one of the major narrative threads of Jellicoe Road, the story of a powerful bond of friendship between Tate, Webb, Narnie, Fitz, and Jude, a visiting Cadet. We then enter a world twenty-two years later where we follow Taylor Markham, meeting Taylor in her dreams just as she is about to discover an illuminating piece of information. Taylor is awakened from her bed at boarding school, and brought to a clandestine meeting: to determine the Jellicoe School’s leader in the territory wars fought amongst the Townies and Cadets. These two storylines evolve, intersect, and eventually overlap.
