Jannik is released from prison, and uses poetry and hard work to get a normal life. But is it enough to overcome his inner demons and a troubled past?

Despite an overtly musical talent and a burning desire to change his life, Jannik’s turbulent journey culminates in a last escape to the small forest that is both his sanctuary and, later, his fate.
