Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy - except he's a thousand years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England. So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance and a different way to live ... which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.
