Erik is used to violence, both at home and in the school yard. When he is relegated from the school in Stockholm because of his violent behavior, he is transferred to the boarding school Stjernsberg. It is Erik’s last chance to continue his schooling and break with his former life. But in Stjernsberg the violence is worse than at home. There, the evil is set in a system, disguised as what is called „peer education”. Can Erik break generations of violence and choose a different path for the sake of love?
