Stijn (14) lives with his father in a Dutch town. After his expulsion from high school and the temporary break with his mother, for whom he feels guilty, Stijn experiences the effects of withdrawal, enrolls in a rehabilitation program and works in a carpentry shop. He goes through an emotional coming-of-age, first recognizing his behavioral problems and addictions, and then ambitiously trying to heal on all levels, with the constant support of his father.
