Zehn Augen, die sehen. Fünf Herzen, die schlagen. Fünf Leben, die spielen. Nach einer Party wacht der siebzehnjährige Jonas orientierungslos in einem heruntergekommenen Bau auf, der einem Gefängnis gleicht. Nach und nach kommen weitere Jugendliche dazu: Julia, ein Mädchen mit Narben im Gesicht, das Jonas nur Stunden zuvor auf der Party kennengelernt hat, Jenny, ein Emo-Girl, die selbstbewusste Nadine und Leon, der erst zehn Jahre alt ist. Sie könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein, doch in der Zelle sind sie alle gleich; sie sind Opfer. Was darauf folgt, ist ein einziger Albtraum.

Even on the worst days, I know this will be worth it. I'll keep my head down and do my job. But it's getting harder and harder to ignore my forbidden attraction to the baby's mother.
