At the beginning of the seventies, Johann comes to the city to study, his head full of confused dreams. He meets Christiane and Tommi, who are a couple and take him into their midst. Together they explore the light and dark sides of love, trapped in a triangle that is getting tighter and tighter. When Johann was a child, his father asked if he had a wish in life. And Johann had not dared to answer: 'Once in my life I would like to kill a man.' Michael Köhlmeier's fascinating novel tells of the wrong life in the right one. Of past guilt and lifelong innocence. 'The Corrupted' won't let anyone go.
