A teenager wakes up in a subway car with no memory of how he got there or who he is.

Growing up is tough on Berlin’s Gropiusstadt housing estate. No one can avoid the drugs and the fights. The summer is tedious, money is urgently needed, a theft goes wrong. No frills, just like Felix Lobrecht’s source novel.
