In a small town in Eastern Germany three young outsiders become friends: Richy (16), who is teased at school, Tim (16), who has moved from the West with his parents and has difficulties getting used to his new life, and Marco (18), who has problems coping with his parents' separation and the rejection he experiences from his father.

Richy admires the strong Marco and proves his interest in Marco's obsessions – glass-moving séances, martial arts and satanic visions. Tim is fascinated by the supernatural as well. Together, the trio experiences a stormy and climactic period. They are convinced of their ability to influence their environment and their lives with newly gained “satanic powers”.

But the more the friendship of the three initiates grows, the more they are forced to experience conflicts between their worldview and the limits of concrete reality. And when a gentle love affair develops between Richy and a girl, Nicole, he must hide it from his friends. A fateful course is set, one that takes the friends to a tragic finale well beyond the attentions of the adult world.
