Dogge is from affluent Rönnviken in Stockholm. Billy lives in the concrete towers of Våringe, a few hundred yards across a highway but a world apart. They met as six-year-olds at Rönnviken’s playground and have been unlikely best friends ever since. From the outside, Dogge looks privileged: he lives in a large home and there is plenty of money—at first. But his parents are addicts whose negligence becomes a form of abuse. Meanwhile, Billy’s family are poor first-generation immigrants unable to escape the no-go zone where they live. But their cramped apartment is nonetheless a bastion of love.

Ein Jugendlicher schießt in einem Stockholmer Vorort seinem besten Freund in den Hinterkopf. Wie konnte es dazu kommen? - Billy und Dogge sind seit Kindesbeinen eng befreundet. Dass sie aus sehr unterschiedlichen Eltern­häusern kommen, hat sie nie gestört. Während Dogge meist von seinen wohlhabenden Eltern allein gelassen wurde, ist Billy, aus einer Einwandererfamilie stammend, umgeben von einer Bastion der Liebe aufgewachsen. Als kriminelle Banden Billys Wohnviertel mehr und mehr beherrschen, werden sowohl Dogge als auch Billy rekrutiert.

I Våringe er det let at dø, men skidesvært at leve. En 14-årig dreng bliver skudt på en legeplads. Alt tyder på, at hans bedste ven holdt våbnet, og han indkaldes få timer efter alarmopkaldet til forhør. Men er han den skyldige - og hvem bærer ansvaret? Det engagerede lokalpoliti, de enlige mødre, indehaveren af købmanden ved siden af legepladsen – ingen bliver skånet i et samfund, hvor bandevolden tager over, og selv børn bliver ofre.
