Synopsis

Rain, the leader of the town gang, causes a car accident and ends up at juvenile prison. To stay strong in this harsh environment takes both spiritual and physical strength. Supporting this young man is the local police officer as well as his friends. At the same time, two teenage boys – Jan and Silver – build a two-floor tree house in the forest near the village. There is almost nothing criminal involved in their activities, except for “borrowing" some of the building material. How is it possible that these two worlds collide?

The book has a strongly optimistic undercurrent, events develop quickly and turbulently, and the tension remains high right until the final pages.
