It all starts with a headbutt. While Germany dreams of its "summer fairy tale" at the 2006 World Cup, fourteen-year-old Vincent finds new friends in those who beat him up. Soon he calls them brothers, smokes shisha with them, hangs out on the streets—yet every evening he's back in his parents' house. When things get serious, he realizes that it was all just a game. At least for him. While he's applying tanning lotion, Ali falls into a coma after jumping out of a window, Tarek is unreachable—and a reality hits him, one that presents problems Vincent never could have imagined. Luca Kieser, who was nominated for the German Book Prize with his debut novel 'Weil da war etwas im Wasser', tells a fast-paced, compelling story about friendship, belonging and the often invisible boundaries that run through our society in his second novel.
